I am excited. Hopefully they don't botch it ;)

Last October, Lee said that he had "cracked the structure of the movie" but didn't know how he was going to film it yet. When speaking with USA Today, he said 3-D was his solution. "It's expensive to shoot in 3-D, I know it's a great burden on me, but the story kept haunting me, and 3-D was the way for me to crack the book," he said. So does that imply CGI animals? Not necessarily; it means you might be getting sea sick. "The ocean is perfect for 3-D," Lee said. "I think it will change the way people experience the sea."

I saw that! I'm excited. Apparently M. Night was supposed to direct it, but now it's Ang Lee. I don't know his work, but hopefully it's good.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain, and Sense and Sensibility are three of his more acclaimed works as director.

I just learned that my friend Jim Hewitt worked on it (he's a set designer). So, look for his name in the credits.
