First ‘Life Of Pi’ Clip Online; New Banners Show Off Gorgeous Imagery

Richard Parker is appropriately terrifying, but I don’t think there’s much else to be gleaned from this. There’s been a lot of fantastic early buzz for the look of the film and Lee’s use of 3D, but I doubt a brief 2D video clip on a computer screen is going to do his cinematography justice.

The banners may actually be more revealing — and more exciting — than the video. They seem to be of scenes from the movie, though they’re obviously dressed up for marketing. I love the watercolor effects they’ve used here, which add a dreamy, magical feel that seems just perfect for the movie.

Based on the acclaimed novel by Yann Martel, and also starring Irrfan Khan, Gérard Depardieu, Tobey Maguire, Adil Hussain, and Shravanthi Sainath Tabu, Life of Pi opens November 21. The official website can be found here.
