Stuhlbarg will play a character named Griffin. The role was originally offered to Sharlto Copley, but that deal never went through. Nothing is known about the character beyond his name, so we can’t accurately say whether he will get covered with slime or will cover somebody else with slime. I’m 90% certain that slime will factor in, however. Unless there is another re-write (snarf-laughs and then hi-fives other movie bloggers). (THR)

Anyway, it looks like I’ll be strapping those goddamn goggles to my head even sooner than I thought, thanks to a deal with Paramount. Now the movie is going to be shown on Thanksgiving, so you can drag all of your relatives to a midnight showing.

Hugo Cabret has Asa Butterfield as the Hugo, an orphaned boy living in a Parisian train station. It also stars Chloe Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jude Law, Christopher Lee, Emily Mortimer, Michael Stuhlbarg and Ray Winstone, all fine people to share a Thanksgiving meal with.
