Director: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Asa Butterfield, Jude Law, Sacha Baron Cohen
Year: 2011
My first thought upon seeing this trailer was, “I have to get my nephew to come with me so that I can see this movie.” It looks like everything I imagine a wonderful childhood adventure story to be. And with Scorsese (The Departed, Shutter Island) directing, it will definitely be a step up from other kids’ movies like The Last Airbender or The Golden Compass. And Jude Law (Enemy at the Gates, Road to Perdition), a brilliant actor, comes on strong in 2011 with three films, including this one. Enlist your family tween and mark November 23th on your calender; this one should be great.
