Tobey Maguire Cast In Small Role In 'Life Of Pi'

Tobey Maguire has signed on for a small part in Ang Lee's adaptation of Yann Martel's best-selling novel Life of Pi. Maguire has also appeared in two other movies directed by Lee - The Ice Storm and Ride with the Devil. I haven't read the book yet. I am adding it to my "To Be Read" list. The movie is scheduled for theater release on December 14, 2012 (shot in 3-D). I have a little time.

Have you read the "Life of Pi" already? Thoughts?

From the Hollywood Reporter:

The [Life of Pi] centers on a 16-year-old Indian boy, played by Suraj Sharma, whose passage to a new life in America aboard a freighter ends in a shipwreck in the Pacific. He is left to fend for himself on a life raft with an orangutan, hyena and Bengal tiger.

Irrfan Khan is playing the adult Pi, who is being interviewed by a reporter. Maguire will play the reporter in a bit role consisting of several days worth of work.

Maguire's next major role will be that of Nick Carraway in Baz Lurhmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby. - Borys Kit
