As Sony pursues director
Ang Lee to take on the gestating Cleopatra biopic starring Angelina Jolie, the filmmaker is busy finishing up his adaptation of
Life of Pi. Now a new poster has arrived putting that tiger front and center in the story of an Indian boy (
Suraj Sharma) whose boat transferring his family and their entire zoo sinks, and he ends up stuck on a lifeboat with a tiger (and zebra, hyena) for over 200 days. We've already gotten a glimpse of the whimsical tale in action, complete with the tiger fighting the boy for fish on the lifeboat, not to mention a beautiful full length trailer, and this looks to be quite an adventure.
Look!
Here's the new poster for Ang Lee's adaptation of
Life of Pi, found via
IMPAwards:
Life of Pi is the story of an Indian boy named Pi, a zookeeper's son who finds himself in the company of a hyena, zebra, orangutan, and a Bengal tiger after a shipwreck sets them adrift in the Pacific. Life of Pi, based on
Yann Martel's novel, is being directed in
3D by Oscar winning Taiwanese filmmaker
Ang Lee, of
Taking Woodstock, Lust Caution, Brokeback Mountain, Hulk and
Crouching Tiger previously. The cast includes
Irrfan Khan, Adil Hussain and
Tabu, in addition to the animals and Pi, as it also looks like there's quite a bit going on in this. Fox already has
Life of Pi scheduled for release
November 21st this year. Thoughts?
