From Variety comes word that Ang Lee is in talks to direct the film adaptation of Yann Martel’s Booker Prize-winning novel Life of Pi for Fox 2000.
The book told the story of a kid who is the lone survivor of a sunken freighter and winds up sharing a lifeboat with a hyena, an injured zebra, an orangutan and a hungry Bengal tiger.
Previous directors attached to the project include Dean Georgaris, M. Night Shyamalan and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
Lee will reportedly supervise a new script after the studio hires a writer.
