Only One Time In My Career I

Ang Lee

Only one time in my career i had that feeling [that this is not gonna get made], it was for this movie [life of pi]. it was right before we started the physical pre-production. i pre-visualized the whole ocean part before we made the movie, i was that prepared. at one point they seemed to want to drop it because it was really risky. the budget we proposed was a lot higher than they expected, they wanted to [drop it]. after all, it's a philosophical book and a literature property, it's not batman.
