'Hugo' Director Martin Scorsese Speaks On His Productivity, Legacy
'One tries to do the best you can with each picture, hopefully continue making them,' renowned filmmaker tells us.

Martin Scorsese's career is one of such significance and acclaim that the Oscar-winning director could retire from the business right now, knowing that his living-legend status would remain intact. It is clear he has no plans to slow down, however, due to the fact that in the last year alone, he's been involved in five feature film and documentary projects, the most recent being his first family-oriented film, the critically acclaimed "Hugo."
When MTV News caught up with Scorsese recently, we asked him to explain the secrets behind his productivity. "There seems to be a sort of urgency, an interest in making comments on certain aspects of life and the world around me, the people, culture today," Scorsese said when asked if he's working under his own self-imposed deadlines or urgency to complete projects. "Whether it's trying to deal with how art inspires a young person — and that is 'A Letter to Elia' — or trying to create a spectacle of American enterprise and corruption as [with] Terry Winter and his show that I'm working on with him, 'Boardwalk Empire,' or people speaking their minds and very strong opinions, like Fran Lebowitz in 'Public Speaking,' but even more so was working for five or six years on 'George Harrison: Living in the Material World,' with David Tedeschi. That is interesting because that was finished at the same time as 'Hugo.' Those five projects were finally released all within one year."
We then asked if with this sudden urgency, Scorsese is conscious or concerned with preserving his legacy as a filmmaker.
"Not really, maybe I [was] at one point," he admitted. "I'm not quite sure anymore. I don't really know. I think at one point in the early '90s, there seemed to be a lot of films being made here in America and in China and around the world that had been inspired by 'Mean Streets' ... that may still be the case that may not be the case, I don't know anymore. One tries not to think of that. One tries to do the best you can with each picture, hopefully continue making them and that they mean something, that they matter to people."
Check out everything we've got on "Hugo."

Back in August, Beyoncé played four hotly hyped, sold-out shows at New York's Roseland Ballroom, the same venue where Radiohead played a two-night stand last month. If you weren't one of the lucky few who snagged a ticket to Beyoncé's celebration of her 4 album, don't worry. The singer will release a new concert DVD, "Live at Roseland," on November 21.
The DVD, which captures the "4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé" event, will be sold exclusively at Walmart and includes 26 songs from her cabaret show and concert, which took place shortly before she officially announced her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The DVD not only includes a montage of B's finest tunes, both with Destiny's Child and as a solo star, but also features the singer candidly revealing the stories behind the greatest moments in her career.
In addition to a retrospective of hits, Beyoncé also brought things up to date during those string of Roseland concerts, playing her 2011 album, 4, in its entirety.
Jay-Z's favorite lady, who just dropped her video for "Party," will also release, on November 29, a deluxe DVD package, "Live at Roseland: The Elements of 4." The pack will include plenty of extras that Beyoncé fans should go crazy over, including a two-disc DVD featuring the concert, bonus footage, previously unreleased videos, a booklet and a video anthology.
November 21 is shaping up to be a big day for pop fans. Lady Gaga releases her very own concert DVD special that day, in addition to the Born This Way the Remix album. Even better, she'll bundle those two new items with her original Born This Way album for the ultimate Gaga gift, called Born This Way: The Collection.

Pattinson, Lautner Premiere "Breaking Dawn" in Barcelona!
As they close out promotions for their vampire film's latest installment, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were side by side in Barcelona, Spain on Thursday evening (November 17).
The "Twilight" co-stars took to the CCIB red carpet to attend the Spanish premiere of "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" - as the much-awaited movie hits theaters at midnight tonight!
During a recent interview with MTV as part of the "Breaking Dawn" media blitz, Taylor dished that ?it?s about time? that Robert and fellow castmate Kristen Stewart share an intimate scene in the upcoming picture.
The Jacob Black hunk dished, "I've seen Edward and Bella go through a lot so far, so I feel like I was kind of ready to see this. I think everybody will feel the same way. We've seen Edward and Bella in their relationship grow so much that it's about time."
Even though he was excited for the honeymoon scene to finally happen, Lautner said he still isn?t sure that Bella made the right decision to be with Edward over Jacob.
?You know, I go back and forth with that one still,? Lautner said with a laugh.
Lady Gaga And Laurieann Gibson Split: Experts React
'It's shocking and it's not,' one music writer tells MTV News.

After spending nearly her entire career working with Laurieann Gibson, Lady Gaga confirmed Monday (November 14) that she and her creative director had decided to part ways.
It was a move that may have been surprising to Gaga's Little Monsters, considering how closely the two have created some of the Mother Monster's most-memorable visuals, but did the split surprise music-industry observers?
"On the one hand, I get why [they split], because it seems like Laurieann's been doing a lot outside of the Gaga universe," Entertainment Weekly's Kyle Anderson told MTV News, referring to Gibson's starring roles on the BET dance-competition show "Born to Dance" and another dance reality series, E!'s "The Dance Scene." "On the other hand, it's a little bit strange, because Gaga's circle of people is so small, and all those people have been with her since pretty much the duration. She's really, really loyal, so it's a little bit strange to me, because I think she has this circle of people she trusts with her work."
Who should be Gaga's next choreographer? Let us know in the Newsroom!
As a key member of the Haus of Gaga, Gibson was never afraid to share her honest opinion about Gaga's work. Most notably, she spoke out publicly against Gaga's Jo Calderone performance at the VMAs, as well as her Nick Knight-directed "Born This Way" clip.
That unbridled honesty could be behind the Gaga/Gibson split, according to Us Weekly senior music editor Ian Drew.
"It's shocking and it's not," Drew told MTV News. "They were extremely close, and she let Laurieann have an unprecedented amount of control in her camp. Let's face it: Laurieann is very headstrong, never holds back what she thinks, and that tends to rub people the wrong way. I'm not totally surprised; it was only a matter of time.
"Look, I love Laurieann, and as a journalist, she's an interviewer's dream, because you'd catch her and she'd always just say what was going on," he added. "Laurieann would just say it. She would give you that perfect sound bite. She tended to be a little bit loose-lipped. But on the other hand, I can see why that maybe ruffled Gaga's feathers, because Gaga's all about the performance piece and not giving away too much. Laurieann really liked to take credit — not that that was bad, [and] maybe it was due, but maybe Gaga didn't want everyone knowing that. In the end, I do tend to think it was something to do with creative differences."
The big question is how the duo's severed partnership will impact Gaga's future endeavors. Will Little Monsters notice Gibson's absence?
"It always puts a really, really heavy focus on whatever the next project is," Anderson explained. "With stars like these, people become curious to know: 'Well how much do these individual cogs play into what we see in front of us?' These two have been together [for years], so we don't yet know what Gaga is like without her. So we don't know exactly what part of that personality plays into her projects."

On Sunday night, some of the biggest names in the music industry hit up the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and decided that sparkles and sequins make for the perfect additions to any red carpet get-up. Well, it is Sin City after all.
Taylor Swift always seems to bring some of that Nashville sparkle to any red carpet. She arrived at the show in a pale-hued, sequined Elie Saab gown. Nicki Minaj showed off her signature sense of style in her baby-blue, body-hugging spandex Mark Fast catsuit.
Selena Gomez turned up the style dial in a sexy, cut-out black Dolce & Gabbana gown that she paired with red strappy sandals with sparkly bow detailing. Like Gomez, Ke$ha opted for some cut-out detailing in her sparkly, slate-gray dress with tulle skirt. Rihanna looked white hot in her men's tailored Max Azria suit, which she kept sexy and feminine by not buttoning her shirt all the way.
Fergie went S&M chic in her little black bandage-type dress by Hervé Léger. Nicole Kidman also wore black. She paired a casual braid hairstyle with a long black gown and Keith Urban. British pop cutie Kyle Minogue looked funky in her little black lacey dress. Inside the show, Britney Spears sat in the audience wearing a skimpy black dress of her own, her hair in loose curls, with little-to-no accessories.
While some stars kept the color scheme low-key, Keri Hilson decided to stand out in her billowy little yellow dress paired with a turquoise-colored belt. Kelly Rowland showed off some of her best assets in a body-hugging, bright pink bandage dress.
The fellas also looked tight on the carpet. Joe Jonas wore all black with white sneakers, Ne-Yo paired his periwinkle suit with a Yankees cap and Justin Bieber wore black tuxedo pants with a gold-lamé tuxedo jacket.
Which stars' styles caught your eye at the Billboard Music Awards? Tell us in the comments.

Justin Bieber, Usher Drop Christmas Track
'The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)' debuted on Ryan Seacrest's radio show Monday morning.
By Jocelyn Vena
On November 1, Justin Bieber will take his fans Under the Mistletoe on his holiday album. But he's giving them an early treat by releasing his Usher duet, "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," on Monday (October 24).
The song dropped on Ryan Seacrest's radio show. Its vibe is reminiscent of '90s R&B tracks, and it sounds a lot like it could have been recorded by Boyz II Men, who also appear on the album.
The Christmas classic is all about the little joys of the holiday season, including the family get-togethers, the food and Santa bringing presents to children. The song, one of the classics that appears on the album, hits iTunes on Monday. Bieber and Usher previously appeared together on "Somebody to Love" off My World 2.0.
"Justin and I did the classic record 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.' This record is going to be remembered for years to come," Usher told Seacrest on Monday morning. "It's a record that has always been one of my favorites, and I'm happy that I was able to share it with Justin, and for us to put it out. The album is full of surprises. Justin's Under the Mistletoe is going to be incredible!"
In the lead-up to the release, Bieber released some behind-the-scenes footage of his mentor and him in the studio working on the song. He also shared that he had another surprise in store for his fans. Just one week after dropping the video for "Mistletoe," he tweeted, "Up early to shoot another video for #UNDERTHEMISTLETOE #Nov1st but something else is out this morning...."
In addition to Usher, Under the Mistletoe will also feature appearances from the Band Perry, Busta Rhymes, Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey, who re-recorded her classic "All I Want for Christmas" for the album.
