Movie Monday (Life of Pi)
Monday, November 05, 2012
Every Monday I try to bring you some awesome news about the upcoming movies of your favorite novels, as well as, reviews of movies that have released from books that you've read.
Today I want to discuss that amazing book-turned-movie. I have talked about this upcoming movie before but since we are in the month of November and the film is set to release November 21, I am so excited that I want to discuss it further. I have already interviewed the genius, Yann Martel which you can read HERE and to get you in the mood for the movie, I have talked about the cast HERE.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Since the summary on Goodreads is longer than the length of the spoon I am using to eat breakfast right now, I am going to give you a little summary: Piscine, Pi for short, lives with his parents and their zoo. His parents decide to escape their country. However, when a terrible storm hits their ship, Pi is left to fend for himself. Pi travels the ocean in a small boat, with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena, and a very hungry tiger.If you haven't read this book yet, what are you waiting for? The film is coming out and I definitely have high hopes for it. Here's why:
I had a friend come to me after seeing this trailer and just shook her head at me, "What is going on? What is this movie about?" Well, I basically told you all what the book was about in the summary but let me break down the trailer for you. This trailer, by the way, is close to perfect, I just hope the movie is the same way.
Ah, all the pretty colors in this trailer are just gorgeous! Pi, who is supposed to be a young boy seems more like a high school-aged kid, which I don't think makes much difference. When the trailer starts, you get to see the awesome ship wreck scene, it looks like. Morning comes and he is now on a small boat, with very pretty colors in the sky. Pi finds the scary tiger in the boat. That tiger looks real; I wonder if its CGI. We get a glimpse of the creepy meerkat island. Oh, yes, I love the looks of this movie. Check it out on its release date on November 21. My review will be up sometime that weekend too because I am not missing this one.
Are you going to watch this movie?
