The trailer for Ang Lee's adaptation of Life of Pi has been released. You can see it here.

Well it looks gorgeous.

Owain Taggart · July 25 2012, 05:56 PM

Oh, very cool. My brother loved the book this was based on, and this looks like it could be a visual masterpiece and great story. I'll be looking forward to this.

Loved the novel, I'll probably see this one in the theatre.

CaptainCanada · July 25 2012, 07:59 PM

I'll be interested to see how audiences react to the ending.

Looks good. Seems like I saw some still photos from the movie a long time ago.

tighr · July 25 2012, 10:06 PM

Looks phenomenal! I'm extremely anxious to see how this translates to film... There is very little dialog in the book, and most of the story is told through the thoughts and emotions of Pi. I hope they are able to convey those things on screen without ending up as nearly silent films like Castaway or 127 Hours.

Coming into this as someone who knows nothing about the book, this look great.

Darth_Daver · July 26 2012, 07:50 AM

I've read it a long time ago, seem to remember it to be great. Will be sure to watch it.

How is this sci fi?

AvBaur · July 26 2012, 10:04 AM

^ Apparently, there are some fantasy elements to the story.

The trailer looks pretty great, I'm very much looking forward to this! Ang Lee rarely disappoints.

In the novel, the tiger can talk – a habit it reveals after a number of days lost at sea. (Though the possibility is left open that it's a hallucination on Pi's part. It remains to be seen how the movie will handle it, if at all.)

It has quite fantastical elements.

It would best be termed magical realism. I wouldn't categorise it as science fantasy. Looks good, although the music in the trailer doesn't seem apt somehow.

I'm looking forward to this. I loved the book.
