Emily Mortimer and Michael Stuhlbarg have joined the already jam-packed cast of Martin Scorsese’s 3D fantasy, Hugo Cabret. Shooting for the film has been underway for a few weeks, but Mortimer, last seen in Shutter Island, and Stuhlbarg, star of A Serious Man, were recently added in supporting roles.
Hugo Cabret tells the story of a Parisian orphan (Asa Butterfield) who lives in the walls of a train station and encounters a number of eccentric characters. The huge cast so far consists of Chloe Moretz, Jude Law, Ben Kingsley, Sasha Baron Cohen, Helen McCrory, Ray Winstone, Christopher Lee and Richard Griffiths, with the recent additions of Mortimer and Stahlberg as a flower shop girl and film restorer, respectively.
Scorsese is producing the film with Graham King, Johnny Depp, and Tim Headington, for GK Films, with a script from John Logan. Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Charles Newirth and Christi Dembrowski are executive producing. Hugo Cabret began production at the start of July in London, and will be released December 9, 2011 by Sony.
