Hugo Movie Companion: A Behind the Scenes Look

The movie Hugo based on Brian Selznick's book The Invention of Hugo Cabret will be in theaters in less than two weeks.

Why would that matter to the readers of The Automata Blog? It's simple: the book and film center around a complex and mysterious automaton. If you haven't read the book, you should. If you have read the book, then you might want to check out this book that I picked up last weekend, The Hugo Movie Companion: A Behind the Scenes Look at How a Beloved Book Became a Major Motion Picture.

The book is a nice hardcover that is what it claims to be -- an in depth look at the behind the scenes making of the movie Hugo. The book features writings from a wide variety of people involved, Sceenwriters to Hairdressers. The book also has a ton of still images from the movie, as well as drawings from the book, and various production sketches. WARNING: There are some spoilers tucked within the pages of the book!
