First look at Ang Lee’s Life of Pi

April 26, 2012 by Simon Miraudo 2 Comments

The first official image from Ang Lee‘s adaptation of Yann Martel’s acclaimed novel Life of Pi has hit the web (courtesy of CriterionCast).

The story follows the son of a zookeeper, an Indian boy named Piscine “Pi” Molitor Patel, who after a shipwreck manages to survive on a dilapidated lifeboat with a hyena, zebra, orangutan and a Bengal tiger for 227 days.

Suraj Sharma, a Delhi high school student, stars as Pi. He is joined by Gerard Depardieu, Irrfan Khan, and Tobey Maguire.

Life of Pi (3D) hits Australian cinemas December 20, 2012.

Discuss: Any fans of the book out there want to comment on the image?

    So far, so good! I’m sorry to see that it’s in 3D; IMHO, the story doesn’t need gimmicks. But I have confidence in Ang Lee’s direction.

    The image has an air of fantasy about it. All the same I’m looking forward to see how Ang Lee interprets this remarkable novel.
