If you loved 2011’s Hugo, then you should know that it is based on the astounding book The Adventures of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, who also wrote Hugo’s screenplay. Wonderstruck is another one of Selznick’s graphic intensive books that feature an astounding story (I don’t even think Hugo is his best book, so really check out his stuff), and it looks like they may have captured Selznick’s unique magic again. Wonderstruck takes place in two timelines 50 years apart, featuring two children seeking answers to tragedies that have befallen them. Selznick has again written the script and Wonderstruck will open in theaters on October 20, 2017.
Wow! … yep, going to see this one! 🙂

Holy mackerel. And just for the record, that’s the first time I’ve ever spoken or written that phrase. This looks GOOD. This trailer gave me chills. Somehow I have never seen any of this director’s work, so I don’t know how he compares to Marty, but wow. I can’t wait.

Still not the best of Selznicks books. He’s astounding and this looks great and did well on the film festival circuit.

Would you believe that Hugo stands as one of the biggest money-losers of all time? Breaks my heart.

It should have won Best Picture instead of The Artist which has already been forgotten if people were even aware of it to begin with and Ben Kingsley should have won his second Oscar for Scorceses best film.

Ah so you agree with me that it’s Scorcesse’s best. And it was even better if you were lucky enough to catch it in the theater, and see what he was able to do with the 3D. Best use of the technology I have ever seen.
I loved the Artist at the time, but it was thin gruel.

In hindsight it was not a good movie. Gimmick.
