Cascade Discusses The Fact That Martin Scorsese Wants Antidote To 'Theme Park Films'

Jan. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Martin Scorsese says Hollywood needs an alternative to "theme park" movies that have come to dominate the box office. He told the BBC that effects-led blockbusters had "taken away serious film-going and serious film consideration. We have to react against the theme park film, as well made as they are, and as enjoyable as some of them are." Cascade is eagerly waiting for the film’s release to marvel at Scorsese new master piece, the Managing Director says ‘looking at the previous films done by Scorsese I am sure this film will not disappoint.’
The director's latest film, Hugo, is in part a celebration of cinema's history. It received a Royal premiere on Monday. The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall attended the screening in London's Leicester Square, alongside stars Sir Ben Kingsley, Chloe Moretz and Asa Butterfield. Cascade is not surprised that this film has turned into a royal event.
The family-focused film marks Scorsese's first foray into 3D. Critics have applauded his use of the format to complement the story - about a young orphan who lives in the bowels of a bustling French railway station in the 1930s, maintaining its many giant clocks. His uncle teaches him to take care of the clocks, and disappears. Hugo lives between the walls of the train station, maintaining the clocks, stealing food and working on his father's most ambitious project.
Today, the director is actively involved in the restoration and theatrical presentation of old movies. During his promotional trip to London, he will be presenting a new print of 1943's The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp at the British Film Institute. The military satire, directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, starred Roger Livesey in the pompous title role, and has been called "the most wonderfully British movie ever made". Cascade is not surprised that the Scorsese has achieved such amazing reviews, ‘his work ethic and passion for his work is what helps him reach new heights each year in his careers, this kind of success in his industry is the same kind of success we want to achieve within our own industry’ continues the Managing Director.
