IMAX Release of "Hugo" in IMAX 3D to Australia and New Zealand — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.210.148 (talk) 11:43, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Steampunk?

Would it fit into this genre? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.4.32.115 (talk) 02:50, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say it is more clock punkDalek9 (talk) 19:52, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IMAX 3D

In Australia and New Zealand it will be released in IMAX 3D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.106.217 (talk) 03:55, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have you got a reference for this ? I'd be surprised if IMAX were to provide special prints solely for the limited number of IMAX venues in those territories. Barry Wom (talk) 08:45, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References to real-world history

The section, References to real-world history, is fascinating but unfortunately it's WP:OR which is not allowed on WP. Can you find a WP:RS who says those things about Hugo specifically, perhaps in a recent review? I hope you can, because otherwise, it must be deleted, under WP rules. --Nbauman (talk) 19:56, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that there is a typo (or ambiguity) in the section "References to real-world history": There is a brief cameo appearance by what appears to be James Joyce, the Irish expatriate author, in the station cafe during the movie's first chase scene. O'Neill was living in Paris at the time of this story.


Is it Joyce or O'Neill? The statement above seems pure speculation.

I have read the WP:OR rules. Does this mean that Scorsese or any of the movie direction team will need to confirm this section? Or can only newspapers or articles already published, which could be plagued with errors, be referred? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gisellas (talkcontribs) 18:09, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Only newspapers, published sources, and other error-plagued WP:RS can be used. Wikipedia requires WP:VERIFIABILITY, not truth. --Nbauman (talk)
Also, having a character that looks like Joyce, or is supposed to be Joyce, in the movie wouldn't constitute a cameo. This section states that Scorsese also makes a cameo, which is correct because Scorsese was actually in the movie playing a part. James Joyce did not play a character (or himself) in this movie (having died in 1941), therefore it's not a cameo.Onlynone (talk) 19:00, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would the movie credits be an accurate source? I watched the credits, and "Salvador Dali" showed up, but I did not catch by whom he was portrayed. I'm not sure about the other facts; I know for sure that the similarities between Hugo's dream and the real-life train crash would be original research until some reliable source confirms it. Anyway, how would one cite the movie credits? Thanks. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 20:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There was a listing for James Joyce in the credits. 72.237.206.160 (talk) 20:30, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Line

Having just seen the film 5 minutes ago, I think the plot line in the article is extremely brief. It misses out parts such as the Inspector saving Hugo's life from a train whilst he was rescuing the automon. Also it misses out the death of his uncle and why. These are just a few things missing which I feel should be included. -90.193.86.227 (talk) 22:10, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
