Angiesaw the filmin a “work in progress” screening and said despite some pacing issues, it’s very much worth seeing. Here’s an excerpt from her piece which specifically references the past trailer.
The trailers forHugohad me assuming it would be a sci-fi or fantasy film. It’s mostly not. WhatHugoreally takes joy in is the magic of cinema — its ability to transform and transport — and given Scorsese’s long, accomplished history as a filmmaker, it’s impossible not to see a personal element in it.Hugoisn’t a perfect film, and those who prefer their narratives shorter or more straightforward may be irritated with its occasional meandering. But for cinephiles in particular, it’s a delightful picture that’s well worth seeing in theaters, in 3D.
I think this trailer definitely showed that much better, do you agree?
