Martin Scorsese has revealed that he has always been a fan of 3D.
The Departed director is moving into 3D with his new movie Hugo Cabret, which is the first time that he has shot in 3D.
And while it's a first for Scrosese but he admits that he has always been a fan of this latest movie phenomenon.
Speaking to Mark Kermode the Oscar winning filmmaker said: "I've always liked 3D. I mean, we're sitting here in 3D. We are in 3D. We see in 3D. So why not?
"Every shot is rethinking cinema, rethinking narrative - how to tell a story with a picture. Now, I'm not saying we have to keep throwing javelins at the camera, I'm not saying we use it as a gimmick, but it's liberating."
"It's literally a Rubik's Cube every time you go out to design a shot, and work out a camera move, or a crane move.
"But it has a beauty to it also. People look like... like moving statues. They move like sculpture, as if sculpture is moving in a way. Like dancers..."
Hugo Cabret is the first movie from Scorsese from Shutter Island and brings together an impressive cast of Chloe Moretz, Jude Law, Ben Kingsley. Christopher Lee and Ray Winstone.
