Trivia

1. Ang Lee hired Steven Callahan as a "nautical consultant." In 1982, Callahan survived 76 days adrift on a rubber lifeboat in the Atlantic after his sailboat sank.
2. Tobey Maguire was originally cast as the Writer. Ang Lee thought Maguire was too famous for such a small role and would have been distracting.
3. Suraj Sharma was never in the boat with a live tiger. Most of the tiger shots were very high-tech CGI. Only a few scenes, like the tiger swimming in the water, included a real tiger.
4. Suraj Sharma never intended to audition for the film. He went to a casting call to support his brother and beat out more than 3,000 hopefuls for the lead role.
5. The shot from the overhead of Pi sleeping on the tarp, with Richard curled up in the boat and the fish swimming underneath them, replicates the best-known cover of the book that the film is based on.
6. Pi is on the lifeboat for 227 days. A good approximation for the number pi is 22/7.
7. The name Richard Parker has previously been associated with shipwrecks. 1) In the Edgar Allan Poe novel "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket", published in 1838, Richard Parker is a member of a group of shipwrecked sailors who resort to cannibalism. 2) In 1884, a ship called Mignonette sank in the ocean. Four people survived, including a cabin boy named Richard Parker, who was subsequently killed and eaten by the other three survivors.
8. First movie in seven years to receive the Oscar for Best Director without winning the Oscar for Best Motion Picture. The previous movie was Brokeback Mountain (2005), also directed by Ang Lee.
9. The VFX studio "Rhythm & Hues" won an Academy Award for this film. This was two weeks after they declared bankruptcy. The main reason was that there were many substance changes without paying for the extra work. Ang Lee did not even mention the VFX team at the Oscars. Most of the work in this film was done by this team. There is also short documentation about this, named Life After Pi (2014).
10..As the Writer browses through the insurance report, one can see on the third page "2. No major weather disturbance reported that day in the quadrant. 3. Survivor's assessment of weather is impressionistic and unreliable. At most, the weather is a contributing factor. The cause was perhaps internal to ship."
