After many delays, it appears that The Life of Pi may actually become a film (in 3-D no less). Director Ang Lee just cast Gerard Depardieu as the chef and Irrfan Khan as the grown-up version of the title character.

Irrfan Khan starred in the most recent season of HBO’s In Treatment and also appeared in the films Slumdog Millionaire and The Namesake.

In October, Ang cast newcomer Suraj Sharma for the lead, over 3,000 other teenagers he auditioned.
