this sounds nothing like “life of pi”. It’s “mister pip”, not “mister pi”.

They really should film where the story is set. I haven’t read the book, but i’m gonna look for it ASAP. Is this story maybe a bit like the Life of Pi?

I am in Papua New Guinea, at the international school. I think this is a great thing that Andrew Adamson is finally making a step closer to reliving his childhood. In Andrew Adamson’s defense there is a substantial safety threat and people in Bouganville might not approve of the area being filmed. I reckon it will be a great movie, but it is a terrible shame that they can’t film here. Personally i think Andrew Adamson should come and visit. Not just so i can get his autograph but to experience PNG’s true beauty, movie or no movie.

I disagree with the previous post. Andrew Adamson stated after Prince Caspian that he has never been back to Papua New Guinea because one often can not “go back”. He drew from that experience for Peter not being able to go back to the Narnia of old where he was the High King. I can guess that a change of location is required to pull this movie off. I am glad to see Andrew back behind the camera. I think he is very talented. Since Andrew is directing I will probably see the film when released.

Why won’t they be filming it in Papua New Guinea, where the story is set? This is an insult to the local people who are the basis of the story. You can’t translate the gorgeous and rich landscapes and culture of Bougainville to NZ or Australia. Shame on you Andrew Adamson! Another blatant example of film-making racism.

Bougainville and PNG desperately need the development opportunities that filming in the original country could provide, and they have no shortage of talented people.
