Ang Lee's Life of Pi, a faithful adaptation of Yann Martel's 2001 novel, respects all religions, but it worships itself. Based on a tip from a mutual friend, a writer attends the house of the titular Pi, which provides the framing device for Pi's recounted tall tale that finds him out to sea for 227 days on a small boat with a giant Bengal tiger. "He said that you have a story that would make me believe in God," says the writer excitedly.

20th Century Fox has finally released the first official trailer for Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee's highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of Yann Martel's award-winning fantasy adventure novel Life of Pi.
