“We share a lot of the same passion for filmmaking. We love it deeply. It’s in our blood,” “He taught me everything I know, so his taste is my taste.&#8221; “I’m a calmer person.  He goes through very strong emotional moods because he’s constantly challenging himself, asking have I done right here? It’s good that I work more diligently and don’t go through the ups and downs that he does. It helps him calm down.” -Thelma Schoonmaker on her long-standing partnership with Scorsese

I wouldn’t mind making all my movies in 3D… (but) if I could go back in time, I’d shoot Taxi Driver in 3D. Bob De Niro in the mirror as Travis Bickle. Imagine how intimidating: ‘You talking to me? You talking to me?’ Amazing possibilities.

“Making ‘Hugo’ was an extraordinary experience for me. It gave me a chance to work in 3D, which I’ve wanted to do since I was young; it allowed me to make a child’s adventure, the type of picture that I loved when I was young; and it provided an occasion to pay tribute to one of the cinema’s greatest pioneers, Georges Méliès,” he said in a lengthy statement.

“Given the support they’ve provided to the Film Foundation in our efforts to restore many films over the years, the recognition of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this particular picture has a very special meaning for me,” he added.

Martin Scorsese ThinksTaxi Driver Would’ve Made a Great 3D Film In an interview with the Deadline blog, Scorsese suggested that his previous films Taxi Driver and The Aviator might have benefited from being shot in stereoscope. He compared the recent wave of films using the technology to the arrival of Technicolor in the mid-1930s. Scorsese was asked by Deadline if he would prefer to shoot all his movies in 3D going forward. &#8220;Quite honestly, I would,&#8221; he replied. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s a subject matter that can&#8217;t absorb 3D; that can&#8217;t tolerate the addition of depth as a storytelling technique.&#8221;
