Iowa Children's Choice Award - 2009-2010 (winner) THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET Screenplay By John Logan Based on the book By Brian Selznick ApfINT.Selznick's decision to add automatons to the storyline came after reading Edison's Eve by Gaby Wood, which recounts Thomas Edison's attempt to create a wind up doll that could speak. Elements from Méliès' films, as well as his collection of mechanical, wind-up figures called automata were incorporated into the novel.
Selznick's primary inspiration for the book was the true story of filmmaker Georges Méliès. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery. But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the station, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. The Invention Of Hugo Cabret, is a great book about a boy who lives in Paris and works with clocks. CLOCK KEEPER, AND THIEF, HUGO lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. Orphan, clock keeper, and thief, Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity.
