Photo Flash: Benjamin Walker, Tony Danza Attend LIFE OF PI NY Premiere

The big-screen 3D adaptation of the bestselling novel LIFE OF PI opened the 50th New York Film Festival on Friday, September 28 at New York City's Alice Tully Hall. Check out photos of the event below!

 

Faithfully adapted by David Magee from Yann Martel's Man Booker Prize-winning bestseller, Life of Pi is a film in which soaring imagination and cutting-edge technology combine to maximum effect to tell the story of a young Indian boy (compellingly played by newcomer Suraj Sharma) who survives a shipwreck and subsequent 227-day journey aboard a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger as his fearsome and, ultimately, cherished companion. Fantastical, suspenseful and breathtakingly beautiful in 3D, Life of Pi looks like a classic that, as with the best of Hollywood's golden era, can be savored by audiences of all ages. A 20th Century Fox release.
