Lee, whose "The Ice Storm" opened the festival in 1997, is only the fourth filmmaker to twice take the opening night slot. Robert Altman, Pedro Almodovar and Francois Truffaut also share in the distinction.

The 3-D film, a fantasy about a boy marooned on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, is due in theaters Nov 21.

The New York Film Festival runs Sept 28 to Oct 14. The Film Society earlier announced that Robert Zemeckis' "Flight" will close the festival. The full slate will be announced later.
