Ang Lee's 'Life of Pi' to go deep next year, in 3-D

on Thursday, November 17, 2011

Most Hollywood movies will release a 3-D in 2012, the same theme - superheroes, aliens, superheroes fighting aliens. But the "Life of Pi", Ang Lee's adaptation of the bestselling spiritual, a boy trapped alone in the boat tiger, is one of the first films mostly character driven to test the form, according to Fox Filmed Entertainment Chairman and CEO Tom Rothman, who spoke to the public a video game, visual effects, entertainment and other professionals in Summit Entertainment's 3D in Hollywood on Wednesday.

"This book is hard to imagine the film," Rothman said, "Life of Pi", where Lee began shooting earlier this year in Taiwan and India for the first time the actor Suraj Sharma as Pi. "It has two characters, one an Indian boy and the other a tiger. There is also a boat. And a lot of water. And this is basically".

Rothman said of the 35 films in 3-D Hollywood in 2012, "most of the genres that the amount is more oriented driven men." Life of Pi "is definitely not that."

Calling the film "a huge bet" in his study, Rothman said Lee, who won an Oscar for directing 2005 drama "Brokeback Mountain", "was firmly convinced that the film would be a 3-D".

"Ang believes it can be used in 3-D surround the audience, to bring the public, which is very metaphysical journey," Rothman said. "And 'different from the language of the narrative. He uses the stereoscope to provide public relationship with this character."

The adaptation of Yann Martel's book in 2001, from a screenplay by David Magee, coming to theaters in December 2012.

Another 3-D film to appeal to the outside of the series Fanboy Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, who is also due for release in 2012.
