Known Trivia

• At one point M. Night Shyamalan was attached to write and direct this project.


• Since the rights were optioned in 2002 several directors have been attached to direct including M. Night Shyamalan, Alfonso Cuarón and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.


• Andrew Garfield was considered for the role but Tobey Maguire was cast. Though he filmed his scenes, Maguire was later replaced by Rafe Spall because the director thought that Maguire was too famous for such a small role and it would have been distracting.


• As in the novel, the name of the Japanese ship is Tsimtsum. Tsimtsum is in fact a Hebrew word used by the 16th-century Kabbalist Isaac Luria to denote God’s “contraction” of Himself from the world at Creation. In the novel, the adult Pi mentions doing a college thesis on Luria’s theories about creation. In the movie, he simply mentions teaching a course on Kabbalah and does not specifically reference Luria.

Plot: A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor … a fearsome Bengal tiger. Full summary » |  »
