What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Brian Selznick's children's novel 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret'.
- The hero's name is pronounced Hugo in French. But even more interesting is the fact that the name could have been given to the boy in honor of the French writer Victor Hugo (we have become fixed on an incorrect pronunciation of his surname).
- The prototypes for the automaton used in the film are the robot created by the Jaquet-Droz family, as well as the automaton made by Swiss watchmaker Henri Maillardet, which Brian Selznick saw at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
- The film partially describes the biography of Georges Méliès.
- The train crash scene from Hugo's dream actually occurred on October 22, 1895, at the Montparnasse station in Paris. On that day, a severely delayed train failed to brake on a slope, broke through the track bumper, ran onto the platform, crashed through a building wall, and collapsed from the second floor onto the street. As a result, five people were injured, and a newspaper kiosk vendor was killed by a piece of the wall falling on the kiosk.
- At the moment when Hugo starts the automaton, there is no sheet of paper in front of the robot; however, when the automaton starts working, a sheet appears there.
- At the moment when the protagonist dreams of seeing a heart-shaped key on the rails, one can notice the boy looking at the key lying near a rail tie, but when he goes down to pick up the key, Hugo picks it up directly from the tie itself.
- The image of the guitarist who appeared at the beginning of the film and at Georges Méliès’ party was based on the famous musician Django Reinhardt. The actor even copied Django’s playing style, who, due to a fire, had only three fingers working on his left hand – thumb, index, and middle.
- Flashbacks show Georges Méliès filming his movies with lavish costumes and sets. In reality, however, everything in his films was tinted in muted tones, as films at that time were black and white. The printed film was then hand-colored.
- When Martin Scorsese decided to make this film, he knew from the very beginning that he would offer the role of Georges Méliès to Ben Kingsley.
