How Life of Pi Went From Book to Movie | Adaptation of Life of Pi

How does a book become a movie? That's a tough question to answer, as every adaptation has its own story. Today, we look at a particular one: Life of Pi, which took 11 years from publication to the movie release. A novel by Yann Martel A movie directed by Ang Lee with a screenplay by David Magee Life of Pi is arguably my favorite book. I remember reading it as a teenager and feeling like I had a choice in what to think. Not often a case for a high school student. I remember my teacher asking me: which story did you think was real? The one with the animals, I responded. I loved that book because it wasn’t tarnished by a movie. My imagination wasn’t skewed. It would not have been my favorite book if I saw the movie first. Yet, it might have become my favorite movie. Over the 11 years it took to make, Life of Pi gained a reputation for being an unfilmable movie. It had almost every conceivable challenge: animals, open water and (gulp) a religious storyline. However, it was because of that uniqueness that made the project worth fighting for, even when the budget exceeded what 20th Century Fox first anticipated. This is the first in a series about adaptations: the story of how a book becomes a movie. It’s not about which is better, it’s about how such a feat is even possible.
