Life pi sweeps the Oscars this year with 4 awards. Here is an interview with the Booker prize winning author of the novel upon which the movie is based:
-- "The 'unfilmability' of Life of Pi was of a double nature: technical and narrative. The second was the most challenging. Technically, to make a movie featuring a boy stranded in a lifeboat with a tiger makes for a perfect moviemaking nightmare because it brings together the three taboos of the art: filming with children, filming with animals, filming on water. Worse still: you can't just use live animals. You need CGI [Computer-Generated Imagery], which makes the proposition financially very expensive. But where there's a major studio and a brilliant director, there's a way."
