Ang Lee apparently isn't feeling very tyrannical anymore.
The "Life of Pi" director has dropped out of the FX pilot "Tyrant," which would have marked his television directorial debut.
The pilot, from "Homeland" producers Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff, along with Craig Wright ("Six Feet Under"), follows an unassuming American family drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation. Raff created the pilot, which was developed by Gordon and Wright.
Raff handled writing duties for the pilot, which comes from Teakwood Lane, Gordon's production shingle with 20th Century Fox Television.
