There has been a lot of attention around Ang Lee‘s next film Life of Pi.  In great part it has to do with the movie being based on Yann Martel‘s international best-selling novel. It also has to do with the fact that this is Lee’s first foray into 3D filmmaking. Word is that he is really jumping in with both feet and fully enjoying using the technology.

Based on the trailer, the film is definitely going to be a visual delight and such a sight to take in. I am very eager to see this film. It is early and even though only the first round of films have been announced, I am still holding out hope that Moviejay has it right and we will get to see Life of Pi at the Toronto International Film Festival in the Fall.

Check out the trailer above and let me know if I am right here. Head over to Apple to see in HD.
