“Brokeback Mountain“ director Ang Lee will direct the film adaptation of the award-winning book “Life of Pi.“
The film adaptation of Yann Martel’s “Life of Pi” will be directed by Ang Lee.
The story mostly takes place on a small lifeboat with a young Indian boy named Piscine “Pi” Molitor Patel and a tiger. Lee will face similar challenges that the Robert Zemeckis/Tom Hanks film “Cast Away” also faced, specifically the challenge of creating drama with only one human character for most of the film.
