Latest on Life of Pi Movie Adaptation: Picture and Details

Life of Pi

From time to time we discover books that are so wonderful we cannot rest until we see them adapted to movies. And then we will be disappointed that not all from the book were translated into the cinematic view of the wide screen. There are also times where we simply don't care how bad the movie was since the book was very good just the same. So when Fox decided to adapt Yann Martel's Life of Pi to a movie, I was a little hesitant.

This story is a favorite of many and I was saddened that I will be once again disappointed with the differences between the book and its adaptation. But when news of the progress of the movie take light I was a little relieved. From hiring a great director to the latest picture from the movie, my uncertainty was slowly melting down.

See for your self why I was now a little confident of the movie -- with its latest movie picture:

This is much like a reminiscent of the book's cover featuring Pi Patel and a Bengal tiger taking a chance for survival. Here is the almost-the-same-concept book cover, if you haven't seen it yet:

Actually Pi will not be sharing the lifeboat with a tiger only, but with a few other animals, including a hyena, a zebra and an orangutan. They will have to contend with each other after the freighter that they were boarding on sank. Pi was the only human survivor of the incident. But of course, what will you get if you put together carnivorous animals and prey in one place? Mayhem, or is it not?

To be directed by Ang Lee, helmer of the amazing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the movie was originally scheduled for release on December 14, 2012, but was pushed back a week later due to the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on the same date. The movie is starred by Tobey Maguire who will play the narrator of the movie, Yann Martel, together with and 17-year old Indian newcomer Suraj Sharma as the lead character. David Magee is to adapt the screenplay of the movie.

Watch for your self how this encounter turns out and wonder no more if Pi will survive and live along to tell the tale or not.

Emma Watson Shows Off Tramp Stamp Tattoo for The Bling Ring

Emma Watson

Just like her famed character from the Harry Potter series, Emma Watson, who just turned 22 years old last Sunday, has transformed from a goody-two-shoes to kick-ass rebel.

We have seen her from the cute child star as she was, and then created a name for her self on the fashion scene. And yet again, we have seen her cut her hair to a pixie look, which shocked the Harry Potter fandom.

Her career reflects this thrilling behavior after accepting new challenging roles, the likes of which we could see in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Just recently she has been cast to another role way beyond her comforts as she will be playing a kick-ass looking Nicki for the movie The Bling Ring.

Here she is in her for Nicki regalia:

And if you think that peeking leather jacket and faded short-shorts is enough to make you drool, wait till you see her backside as she shows off her tramp stamp tattoo, tailored just for the movie:

Whoa! Nice view, isn't it? This just wanna make me watch the movie even if we are to wait for it for a couple of months. This dramatic changes surely is a plus for her and this just proves that she'll look beautiful no matter what she wears, glamour or not. But, don't worry guys this tattoo is only temporary, although I know some of you wanted it to be permanent.

The Bling Ring is a movie directed by Sofia Coppola and is inspired by a true story. The story will revovle around a group of tech-savvy teens who grew up in Hollywood and burglarized the homes of some famous actors and actresses like Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton Bilson and Audrina Patridge starting 2008 until 2009.

Surely, I will be the first in line once this movie is released on theaters.

Dubbed as the Girl on Fire, Katniss Everdeen or Jennifer Lawrence on real life sets the thermometer on all time high.
