Jude Law joins Scorsese's 3D 'Cabret'

Jude Law has joined the cast of Martin Scorsese's upcoming Hugo Cabret.

Law will co-star with Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloe Moretz and Helen McCrory in the live-action 3D adventure, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie is an adaptation of Brian Selznick's best-selling 2007 book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. The Aviator writer Joun Logan penned the script.

The plot centres on an orphan living in a Paris train station who encounters an eccentric girl and other people on an adventure.

Johnny Depp and Scorsese are among the producers of the film, which has begun production in London.
