Film News (21/02/09)

Such a quiet week for film news - only three stories worth the mention.



Life of Pi

After bouncing around a couple of big name directors, Yann Martel's philosophical novel for all ages has settled on Ang Lee. And the one thing we know about Lee is he can handle every genre he's tried. Whilst a film set on a lifeboat with just a boy and a tiger may be a challenge it'll certainly be interesting to see what comes out of it.



How Do You Know?

James L. Brooks only surfaces every 5-10 years with a new adult (read smart and satirical not boobs and farts) comedy. His next one comes out later this year with Reese Witherspoon, and now Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd.

Salt

Formerly Edwin A. Salt, the Anjelina Jolie action vehicle has gained a leading man in the shape of Liev Schreiber. He's on a bit or a casting role right now.
