Report: Martin Scorsese’s Hugo to Screen at NYFF

Our sister blog Deadline is reporting that the surprise sneak screening tonight at the New York Film Festival — showcasing a “work in progress from a master filmmaker” — will be Martin Scorsese’s Hugo . If true, it would be Scorsese’s second film to screen at this year’s NYFF (after George Harrison: Living in the Material World ) and a considerable risk for Paramount, which would be exhibiting the uncompleted 3-D film in one of the tougher filmgoing environments known to man. Movieline will be there in any case; check back with us later on for a report. [via @NikkiFinke ]
