The trailer for Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" is playing in front of 3D screenings of "Prometheus." And while it has yet to be released online, we now have a ten-second clip from the movie, in addition to a few banners. Check out everything below.
The story revolves around Pi Patel, the teenaged son of a zookeeper. He and his family board a ship headed toward North America, but a wreck leaves Pi stranded in a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.
Pi is played by newcomer Suraj Sharma, who beat out three thousand actors for the role. He's joined by Irrfan Khan as the grown-up Pi, Adil Hussain and Tabu as Pi's parents, Gerard Depardieu as "The Chef" and Tobey Maguire as Yann Martel. It's set to hit theaters on December 21st.

I still haven't forgiven him for Hulk, and I never will.

Oh, and Pi is infinite, a transcendental number, so I guess this movie goes on forever, just like Hulk goes on forever in my nightmares.

Ang Lee's involvement aside (I don't have a problem with him, for the record), I am really, really excited for this. The book was incredible and the trailer in front of Prometheus was beautiful. I still wonder how M. Knight Shamalamadingdong's version would have come out. Pity he peaked and crashed before he could get production on this started.

That tiger looks pretty sh*t hot. We're getting nearer to perfection with the FX on animals we just need to get there with people. Tron Legacy showed we've still got a long way to go.

Do they find a fat tiger and an empty boat at the end of the film?
