CLIP FROM 'WHERE THE WILD THING ARE'

Here is a clip of test footage from the upcoming movie Where the Wild Things Are. Director Spike Jonze will be bringing the ever-popular children's book by author/artist Maurice Sendak to life. The story (for those of you who aren't familiar...both of you) is about a young boy named Max who likes to cause mischief and is sent to bed without any supper. During his solitude he creates a new world filled with monsters who live wild in the woods and crown Max their king after he basically beats them in a staring contest.


The first adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are was in 1973 [see below] and then in 1983, Disney actually planned production on a CGI version of the story to be directed by John Lasseter (founder of Pixar), but it never made it past test shots. Jonze's live-action version of the classic is set for release on October 16, 2009 (my birthday). Hopefully we'll have a trailer to post here sometime in the near future.
