Since The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is now slated for a December 14 release, other studios' movies are politely rescheduling to avoid that box office bonanza. Life of Pi, the Ang Lee adaptation of Yann Martel's 2001 novel, starring newcomer Suraj Sharma, Tobey Maguire, and Gerard Depardieu, is now scheduled for a Dec. 21, 2011 premiere. It should be the greatest movie about being stuck in a boat with a Bengal Tiger since Hitchcock's Lifeboat, where Tallulah Bankhead almost mauls all the other passengers. [/Film]
