'Life of Pi' suffers another blow
EXCLUSIVE: These are difficult books as well as the development challenges that accompanies them, here comes another example, and it a highprofile one.
"Life of Pi," Yann Martel bestselling Booker Prize winner that has had more development gorounds when compared to a male Bengal tiger has mates,Cheap Nike Air Max LTD Shoes Womens White/Pink Sale, could be coming returning to the event cage. Eclectic director Ang Lee have been set to shoot the movie, potentially in 3D, but budget concerns appear to be putting the work on hold.
Lee and producer Gil Netter get home to Fox 2000 using a budget that sources say is too much for that studio division. (A newly released Indiewire piece put it from the $70 million range.)
The filmmakers can still reconfigure the budget, but until they do, the film isn advancing. (Netter didn immediately return a trip for comment.)
How the project remains active at all is a least partly thanks to the devotion of Fox 2000 chief Elizabeth Gabler, who may have been hugely keen on a "Pi" film.
Gabler includes a fair quantity of clout within Fox,Cheap Nike Air Max Griffey Shoes Mens White/Blue Sale, and Fox 2000 continues to be highly profitable to the studio to midbudget bookbased movies,Cheap Nike Dunk High Premium White Electric Green Bluegrass Sale, such as "Marley Me" and "The Devil Wears Prada." But those films, of course, had commercial hooks. This place, with regards to a boy named Pi who finds himself trapped on the boat with a tiger after a shipwreck that sees a great many other animals meet their end, may be difficult to market (and, it ought to be noted, tough to film).
In the event the Lee version doesn work out, it wouldn be the very first time a namebrand director took on,Cheap Nike Air Max Classic BW Shoes Mens Brown/White Logo Sale, then ended up separating from, a "Pi" adaptation.
Genre notables like M. Night Shyamalan and Alfonso Cuaron, as well as French auteur JeanPierre Jeunet, have all been on board to direct a form of the film eventually. Fox is usually costconscious, it comes with this movie, despite its bestseller status, can be quite a tricky shoot has them especially concerned particularly because of the lot of CG creatures, and also the waterbound location,Cheap Nike Dunk Low SBTG nitrolicious Sawtooth Poison Ivy Sale, which tends to drive up budgets normally. Along with everything, "Pi" is the sort of specialized, nontentpole movie that nearly all studios are staying away from currently.
The title character in "Life of Pi" survived a difficult 227 days with a raft floating through dangerous waters. The film project might have to endure much more.
