Where the Wild Things Are
Did you love Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” when you were a kid? I sure did.
Many people have attempted to make this book into a film over time. I remember seeing one abandoned attempt by some of the early Pixar pioneers. But I will trust Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich and Adaptation) to do a good job, even if it’s live action. The trailer for this film is up, and it looks beautiful at least.
UPDATE: Friend-of-the-blog COS, who sent me the original link, has sent me the following two links, which are interesting in their way. The first link is a bit about how Warner’s didn’t like the original cut of Jonze’s film, and he had to redo it. Like, all of it. Second, COS sends this link showing the original 2D/3D version of Where the Wild Things Are that I saw a-way back when. John Lasseter was at the helm on this one before he went off to become the King of Pixar.
