Here’s the first trailer for Ang Lee’s Life of Pi. A scene from the movie was shown prior to Prometheus but seeing as it really showed an out of context scene I had no idea what to make of it. This trailer gives a glimpse at the extrodinary Life of Pi.

 

The story of an Indian boy named Pi, a zookeeper’s son who finds himself in the company of a hyena, zebra, orangutan, and a Bengal tiger after a shipwreck sets them adrift in the Pacific Ocean.

The film is based on the bestselling novel by Yann Martel and stars Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Gérard Depardieu and Toby Maguire. It opens November 21st. 

The first trailer for Baz Lurhmann’s take on The Great Gatsby has been released and it looks exactly as you’d figure it would look. It has bright colors, dancing and a bunch of modern music. You know, all spectacle and no substance. I’m not sure how many people have actually been clamoring for a new adaptation of F. Scott’s Fitzgerald’s classic novel. Alas, we will now be getting a new take on it (in 3D even) and it stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Toby Maguire, Carey Mulligan and Joel Edgarton.

The film opens December 25 and will no doubt ruin the holidays for anyone who pays to see it. Save yourself some money and read the book instead.
