About the author

Hello there. My name is Brian Selznick and I’m the author and illustrator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I was born in 1966 in New Jersey. I have a sister who is a teacher, a brother who is a brain surgeon, and five nephews and one niece. I studied at The Rhode Island School of Design and after I graduated from college I worked at Eeyore’s Books for Children in New York City. I learned all about children’s books from my boss Steve Geck who is now an editor of children’s books at Greenwillow. While I was at Eeyore’s I also painted the windows for holidays and book events.

My first book, The Houdini Box, which I both wrote and illustrated, was published in 1991 while I was still working at the bookstore. Since then, I have illustrated many books for children, including Frindle by Andrew Clements, The Doll People by Ann Martin and Laura Godwin, Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride by Pam Muñoz Ryan and The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins by Barbara Kerley, which received a 2001 Caldecott Honor.

I have also written a few other books myself, including The Boy of a Thousand Faces, but The Invention of Hugo Cabret is by far the longest and most involved book I’ve ever worked on.

I live in Brooklyn, New York, and San Diego, California.

When The Invention of Hugo Cabret first hit the shelves, I stood there at Barnes & Noble waiting for the sales clerk to cut open the box for me so I could buy my book. I've been a long-time Brian Selznick fan, and I had followed his entries on his website as he got ready for publication. I love art, travel, films, entertainment, creativity, and most especially, stories of redemption. This book had it all for me. I was already familiar with Méliès's Journey to the Moon movie, and in fact, I used quite a bit of it in some eLearning science curriculum I had written for the state of Texas.

The Selznick story "re-triggered my obsessions" and I learned quite a bit more about Méliès's life after reading the Hugo Cabret book. I was lucky enough to go to Paris and visit The Georges Méliès exhibit at The Cinemateque right after opening. To see his drawings in person, to "visit" his studio, and to feel the demise of his art form brought this story to a new level of inspiration for me. He was so fully engaged in his passions, yet times changed and he believed he had utterly lost what seemed like his established place in the world.

One thing I love about Brian Selznick is his love of learning the details, so I knew the movie companion would be something I would appreciate. Normally, I would not read a "book about a movie about a book," but this one was simply fascinating because it described the ways the various people on set connected with the story they were telling together. It was not an actor-focused book, but it included the contributions of everyone (glide-cam operator, make-up director, scripting director, dialect coach, etc.) and what they did to solve challenges and create "magic." As a writer and film maker myself, I have so much appreciation for the attention to detail, careful planning, and what must have been a staggering budget.

Thank you, Brian, for publishing the Hugo Movie Companion. The original book, the intertwined stories, and your thoughts on how the movie illuminates our human needs for connection and purpose have brought me many hours of joy.

If you loved The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and if you loved the movie Hugo, this book is a must read! Written by Brian Selznick but with sections by other authors and many quotes by Martin Scorsese and other members of the movie team, the book includes not only the historical background (biographical information about Georges Meliers, Paris in 1931), but also tons of behind the scenes photos and summaries of all the team members. It ends with a description of how Brian Selznick got a cameo in the movie and a detailed description of the filming of the final scene. A treasure for anyone who has ever wondered how a beloved book gets turned into a movie!

Fantastic and thorough look at the behind-the-scenes making of the adorable movie Hugo, starring Asa Butterfield and Sir Ben Kingsley.

Fue maravilloso, poder entender porque elegían algunas cosas para la película, que te expliquen algunos relatos difíciles de entender sobre el libro y tener material extra sobre esta gran historia es absolutamente fantástico.

[Drew Graham · Rating 4 out of 5]

Once there was a book about a boy named Hugo Cabret and his automaton and their adventures in Paris. Then there was a movie based on the book. Then there was this book that talks about the adaptation of the book to the movie.

The reason I read this book, or why I even knew about it in the first place, was because I saw it on the reserve shelves at the library. It was shortly after the movie had been released on DVD, so there was a waiting list for it. I added my name to the list and it finally came, and then I realized I could have more or less just as easily picked it up and read it right there in the library. It was a short and interesting read, outlining all the major players that came together to make the book into a movie, including most of the cast and a pretty generous assortment of the crew. It was aimed mostly at children in tone and style, but it still had some information that was new to me and I enjoyed it. It's ostensibly written by the author of the original book, which I sometimes doubted, it just seemed SO much like a marketing tie-in in parts, but it did utilize the Selznick's method of a few pages of text followed by several full-page graphics and spreads. (It was pretty interesting to me that Brian Selznick is directly related to the David O. Selznick of decades-ago cinema fame.) There were photos and drawings and production notes, and I especially enjoyed the concept artwork, set and prop diagrams, and costume designs and storyboards. As a side note, there was a really bizarre typo in one spot -- a page just ended mid-sentence and never picked it up to finish it later. Weird. The last chapter was probably the best part of them whole thing, detailing a play-by-play of the shooting of the final scene in the movie, from Selznick's first-person point of view, as he was asked to make a cameo appearance as a film student at the party. It was interesting to see his perspective as the author, all the way from how they adapted a brief passage of text to the screen and all the preparation they had to do for such a short but effective moment in the film.

Fans of the literary and cinematic world of Hugo Cabret will enjoy this fun tie-in. It's a brief and easy enough read for younger audience, but it's informative and substantial enough to appeal to an older one too. Reading this kind of made me appreciate the movie a little more (which I thought was okay), and also made me kind of want to watch it again, which I might just someday do.

First of all, this is a gorgeous book! The packaging, the photos themselves, borders, type of paper-- very elegant. I like the way it describes the making of the film from several viewpoints. After reading this, it makes perfect sense that Scorsese would choose this as his first "children's film". I enjoyed the way he described the use of 3-D to help convey depth and personality, and the importance of films and family in his life, especially the father-son bond.

Another plus to this book is that is does a wonderful job of showing how so many different people, with varying backgrounds and talents, are instrumental in completing something like a film. Kingsley's story of being passed off as a film star at age 5 is fascinating. The level of research, including watching hours of film, are amazing. If only more people would be so attentive to detail. The fact that as many props as possible were from the correct time period, using 40,000-50,000 books for the bookstore scene, using goose down to appear as dust.. wow! I didn't suspect at all that there were even 15 different automatons, some with slightly different expressions, some inspired by Mona Lisa.

The detailed description, storyboards and photographs from the party scene are also very interesting. It makes you appreciate once again how seemingly invisible the cameras are in the filming.

This book is so intriguing for adults, especially with many references that students might not fully appreciate, but for anyone thinking about film making, it would be just perfect. It is also true that each person's "story" is generally just a few pages long, which makes it very accessible.

I know that after reading this book, I will view any films I see in the future with a different perspective. And, of course, I will have to see Hugo again.

[Michele · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book....more than I expected I would! I am a big "Hugo" fan--loved the book and the movie. Purchasing the movie companion was kind of a given for me, but I was pretty sure it would be like most such books--primarily just a way to make more money. Surprisingly, I found it to be rather interesting. I loved the pictures and interviews--it even smells good! I learned more about the author (Selznick), his inspiration for the book, and Scorsese's desire to make the film. I learned more of Melies and the film industry. I found the descriptions of the various people's roles in the film--costume designer, props master, stunt coordinator really intriguing. I have read about films before, but most of the time I just glossed over the details. Perhaps because this book is written by Selznick, it is just better than the usual teams hired to do this kind of book. Perhaps it is good because it is written for children, but written for the kind of engaged and interested children that would like The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Whatever the reason, it was an interesting read that I will now try to purchase for my elementary school library!

[Tomi Alger · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such an interesting book. Sections include information on the book, on the actors, on the movie influencers for both the book and movie, and on the various workers for putting the movie together, plus more. I so enjoyed the original story, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and this book adds additional background. Glad I finally got to read it.

I owe everything to the people you made this movie possible, for it was the love of cinema portrayed in the film that made me decide to try my own hand at filmmaking. My every thanks to Martin Scorsese and Brian Selznick.

If you love the film as much as I do (which is so incredibly much) you'll love this behind the scenes look at the people who helped create this beautiful story become the much beautiful film.

[The Unicorn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I may have rated this a star higher than I initially would, but here's why. Brian Selznick has quickly and easily become one of my top five authors, possibly even in my top three. Martin Scorsese's 2011 film adaptation of Selznick's 2007 novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret (my second favorite of Selznick, but only because his 2011 follow-up novel, Wonderstruck has slotted up to first place) is not only somewhere within my top 50 favorite movies, but is a beautiful film on its own AS WELL AS a very loyal adaptation.

When I was 14 years old, I became serious about learning filmmaking when I read Girl Director: A How-To-Go-Guide for the First-Time, Flat-Broke Filmmaker, a book inspiring young girls to be storytellers through visual mediums. While this and The Hugo Movie Companion: A Behind the Scenes Look at How a Beloved Book Became a Major Motion Picture are intended for younger readers, the information in this is not detailed or complex, but is a basic introduction to the anatomy of filmmaking. This book is what would have inspired me to pursue my passion of film education.

Selznick also showcases his writing in a different kind of format. Instead of his usual written/visual narrative, he exercised his skills as a biographer— investigating and interviewing and gathering interesting details that went into making from book to film. I easily forgot while reading through that Seznick himself was behind the writing of this book until he included his personal involvement and experience in the film process. Thanks to this companion guide, I rewatched the film after rereading the novel and reading this, and was able to spot easter eggs mentioned that I did not know about before (particularly that of Selznick's cameo in the film's final scene).

I recommend this book to fans of the author, the novel, the film, and to all of young, aspiring filmmakers!

Worth every page

I have read the book and saw the trailers for the movie. However, I thought I would read this book before watching the movie. Sort of like watching the DVD extras, it enhances the movie to know what they are trying to accomplish.

Well, I was surprised to see that this book can hold its own. It is more than just how to change a book into a movie. And the added drawings and pictures are worth the purchase. I do not want to go too much into detail as that is why you want the book. However, we get a mini-biography of Martin Scorsese, a synopsis of the story, and a lot about what 3D should and should not be.

Just a side note it feels looks and smells like a real book.

An unexpected twist of chapter book, picture book, mystery and Dickens story. Definitely kept the whole family entranced throughout all 500 pages. (Don’t be afraid of the length, the book is a quick read.)

Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um das Buch zum Film von „Hugo“, der Romanverfilmung des Kinderbuches „Die Entdeckung des Hugo Cabret“ von Brian Selznick.

Die Geschichte des kleinen Hugo Cabret spielt im Jahre 1931 in Paris. Er entstammt einer alten Linie von Uhrmachern und auch sein Vater ging diesem Handwerk voller Leidenschaft nach. Er führte einen Uhrenladen und arbeitete nebenbei in einem Museum. Dort entdeckte er eines Tages auf dem Dachboden einen „mechanischen Mann“, den er als „Automaten“, so wie ihn die Zauberer benutzen, identifiziert.
Auch Hugo hat bereits von Kindesalter an großes Interesse und ein unglaubliches Talent im Umgang mit der Mechanik bewiesen und so wird der „mechanische Mann“ zum gemeinsamen Geheimnis zwischen Vater und Sohn. Doch eines Tages kehrt der Vater nicht mehr zu Hugo zurück, da er bei einem Brand im Museum tragischerweise ums Leben gekommen ist. Hugos ständig betrunkener Onkel Claude taucht stattdessen bei ihm auf und nimmt ihn in seine Obhut. Gemeinsam leben sie in den Gemäuern des Pariser Bahnhofs und Claude lehr Hugo das Warten der Bahnhofsuhren. Jedoch kehrt auch er bald nicht mehr zu Hugo zurück und bleibt spurlos verschwunden. Dadurch ist er nun vollkommen auf sich allein gestellt. Hugos größter Wunsch ist es, den „mechanischen Mann“ zu reparieren, da er eine versteckte Nachricht seines Vaters erwartet. Um an die Ersatzteile zu kommen, stiehlt er regelmäßig in dem Spielwarenladen, der sich im Bahnhof befindet. Doch es kommt, wie es kommen muss: er wird erwischt und der Besitzer nimmt ihm das, was ihm am meisten bedeutet: das Notizbuch seines Vaters. Und auch die Angst vor dem Bahnhofsvorsteher wächst und wächst immer mehr.

Im ersten Kapitel erzählt der Autor Brian Selznick sehr detailliert, wie er auf die Idee gekommen ist, „Die Entdeckung des Hugo Cabret“ zu schreiben. Außerdem erzählt er auch ein wenig über sich selbst und lässt verlauten, dass er einen ziemlich prominenten Vorfahren hatte. Die Welt ist eben doch ein Dorf.

Das zweite Kapitel beschreibt die Visionen des Regisseurs, Martin Scorsese. Darin spricht er darüber, wie die Filme seine Jugend bestimmt haben, über die Vorzüge der 3D-Technik und was ihn an der Geschichte des kleinen Hugo Cabret so fasziniert hat. Auch die Geschichte des Kinos wird bildreich von Martin Scorsese vorgestellt.

Im dritten Kapitel wird das Filmteam vorgestellt. Vom Produzenten Graham King bis hin zu den Schauspielern wie z.B. der kleine Asa Butterfield, der die Rolle des Hugo Cabret übernommen hat. Meiner Meinung nach übrigens die perfekte Besetzung für Hugo!

Kapitel 4 widmet sich dem Set, den Szenenbildern und der Kamera. Die Szenenbildner haben versucht, den Film so authentisch wie möglich zu gestalten. Da die Romanvorlage größtenteils illustriert ist, hatten sie natürlich bereits eine Vorstellung davon, wie die Welt von Hugo aussehen könnte und haben sich daran orientieren können. Die Liebe zum Detail ist nicht nur im Buch und im Film spürbar, sondern auch in diesem schönen Filmbuch.

Im fünften Kapitel dreht sich alles um die Dreharbeiten. Besonders gut daran hat mir der Auszug aus „Tim Monichs Aussprache-Lexikon“ für Chloe Moretz, die im Film die Rolle der Isabell übernimmt. Da sie keine Britin ist, soll ihr dieses „Aussprache-Lexikon“ helfen, trotzdem einen britischen Akzent zu haben. Hier mal ein kleines Zitat daraus:
„PAH-pa zhawzh isn’t my grAnn-fah-thuh and he izzn’t a theef.“
Tja, was könnte das wohl heißen? ;)

Das sechste und somit letzte Kapitel handelt von dem großen Fest, das am Ende des Filmes zu Ehren des Filmemachers Méliès gehalten wird. Diese war wohl eine der aufwendigsten Szenen im Film, da alles perfekt sein musste. Im Vordergrund standen nicht nur die Hauptdarsteller, sondern auch zahlreiche Statisten. Jeder musste seine Rolle perfekt spielen, es musste vorher sehr viel geprobt werden, damit alles klappt.
Aber lest selbst, wie sich alle Beteiligten auf diese Szene vorbereitet haben.

Die Aufmachung dieses Buches ist einfach hinreißend! Während der Schutzumschlag das Filmplakat zeigt, kommt auf dem festen Einband der kleine Hugo zum Vorschein. Auf der Rückseite sieht man eine Szene zwischen ihm und Isabell. Während ich mich normalerweise mehr mit dem Inhalt der Bücher beschäftige, muss ich in diesem Fall auch die Qualität des Buches hervorheben. Der schöne Einband ist erst der Anfang, denn im Buch selbst befinden sich unzählige sowohl farbige als auch schwarz-weiß-Illustrationen und Bilder aus dem Film.
Dieses Buch ist ein echter Augenschmauß und zusätzlich zum Film eine tolle Ergänzung voller Hintergrundinformationen und interessanten Artikeln.
Ein must-have für jeden Fan des kleinen Hugo Cabret!

Very informative. If you´re interested in film/all the different aspects of how movies are made, this is a good read. Gives a great overview of different careers involving film business, including the production. It was a little confusing at times, since the author often spoke in both first and third person at the same time. But besides that... :)

i love lil books about movies. it's the best of both worlds, and its even better when you see how much care they put into making both the movie and the book.

[04MaddieK · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was amazing. I loved it so much. Jack Nielsen introduced me to it, and at first I was hesitant. It was mostly pictures, and I didn't think the story line would be very good. I read the first two chapters and I was hooked. I loved how for a while the words would tell the story, but then the pictures would take over. When the words returned you had a moment where you realized that the pictures had told a very big chunk of the story without you knowing.

This story starts with a boy who goes around the inside of a train station winding up clocks. He is all alone since his father is dead and his uncle abandoned him. To survive he steals milk and croissants from the nearby cafe. You find out that Hugo has been trying to salvage a small robot, or automaton. His father had been repairing it before he had died, and now Hugo thought his father had installed a message in the automaton. If he could fix the automaton, it would save his life. He has been stealing mechanical parts from a little toy shop, but one day the owner catches him and forces him to work so he can pay for the parts he stole. The owner, Georges Melies, has a goddaughter he takes care of and her and Hugo become friends. Isabelle and Hugo figure out that the automaton is Georges, and that he used to be a famous moviemaker. He has now shut out everything about his past because of the war. All his movies were burned along with his sets and costumes. Although, one day some people come for a visit to the Melies's house and they show one of Georges movies that they found. Georges has a new spark of hope and remembers everything about his movie days. Georges also saves Hugo from going to prison, and adopts him. They go to an event to honor Georges and his movies. Hugo becomes a magician at the party, as declared by Georges, and then years later builds his own automaton. You then find out that the entire book was written and drawn by the automaton.

I really liked this book, and there were a lot of unexpected twists and turns. I loved it, and would read it several more times. I think anyone would fall in love with the art of this book. That doesn't just mean the drawings, even the words flow on the pages like art, and it is absolutely beautiful.

The Hugo Movie Companion is a book about a movie that is based on a book about movies. Hm… And yet, we are actually not back to where we started. We’ve come a long way since George Melies. This charming book shows us in both pictures and words the modern day magic of movie making. It’s a behind the scenes book like no other.

Selznick intersperses photographs, drawings, and text all together in a way that is fun to read, informative, accessible to children, and also interesting to adults. For some scenes, Selznick shows us how the drawings from his book were replicated in the movie using side by side full-color photographs. He also includes pictures of the fashion sketches of the characters, and he shows us a sample page of the screenplay in its full Courier-font glory. For the text of the book, Selznick interviewed some forty cast and crew members. Everyone from the director to the dog trainer. From those interviews, we learn about all their roles (what they do and what they are responsible for) as well as their own love of movies.

Even as an adult, I never realized how many people are involved in the making of a film and the tremendous amount of work involved. Prior to this book, I couldn’t have told you what the second unit director did or even that the position existed! Clearly, making a film is an enormous team project and too often those behind the scenes aren’t given enough credit. I’m glad to see them being well-represented here.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to fans of the movie, Hugo, and especially to children (roughly 9+). It’s very easy to consume and packed with great information.

For anyone who's wondered what it takes to produce a large-scale, big-budget film like Martin Scorcese's Hugo, this book is likely to answer any question. I read and loved Brian Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and I really enjoyed the film adaptation Hugo. With The Hugo Movie Companion, Selznick takes readers on a journey to show how his beloved novel became a Hollywood motion picture.

With only five chapters, this book is a quick read. Regardless, Selznick goes into a good amount of detail about how he came up with the idea for his original novel, the real-life story of George Méliès, the history of automatons, how Martin Scorcese became involved in the film adaptation, how the movie production team and cast were assembled, and the many steps of the filmmaking process. He interviews the various people involved with the film, including Scorcese, many of the cast, and an assortment of the crew, including the makeup artist, costume designer, cinematographer, first assistant director, dialect coach and so forth. I got a sense of how much these people enjoyed working on the film. You can tell that they knew they were part of a very special project.

The Hugo Movie Companion is filled with color photographs from the set, sketches of the costumes and set design, and black & white photos from early twentieth century Paris. Also included are many illustrations from The Invention of Hugo Cabret, most of which are displayed alongside production images to show how the crew painstakingly recreated Selznick's novel for the big screen.

I am so glad I bought this book. It's definitely one that I will look at again and again...probably every time I rewatch Hugo. This book would be an absolute treasure to movie aficionados and people who enjoyed The Invention of Hugo Cabret (and the film) as much as I did.
