Thanks for posting this, Amanda.  Naturally, I believe Ang Lee deserves to be higher than #21... :o ::) ;)

Oh, that would be great!!  I could imagine Lee doing something really interesting with The Life of Pi.  I read it a long time ago on the enthusiastic recommendation of both of my parents.  It's a really interesting book, I also highly recommend it.



p.s. Lynne your post came in as I was writing this... yes, I had the same reaction that Lee should have been higher on the list.  Of course.

Ang Lee to head Venice Film Festival jury

Feb 27th, 2009 | VENICE, Italy -- Director Ang Lee, who twice won the Venice Film Festival's prestigious Golden Lion award, will head its jury this year.

The Taiwanese-born director won the award in 2007 for "Lust, Caution,"  and in 2005 for "Brokeback Mountain,"  for which he also won a best directing Oscar.

The festival made the announcement Friday. Last year's jury was headed by German film director Wim Wenders.

This year's film festival will be held Sept. 2-12.
