Where the Wild Things Are trailer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Trailers
The official trailer for Where the Wild Things Are debuted this morning on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and immediately caused many to start frothing at the mouth due to it’s high level of awesome. We must say, after watching it a few times, this has got to be one of the most beautiful movie trailers we’ve seen in, well, ever. For those unfamiliar, Where the Wild Things Are is an adaptation of a children’s story written by Maurice Sendek about a disobedient boy named Max who gets sent to bed without supper (or, dinner, as we call it.) He then creates an imaginary forest world that is inhabited by wild creatures who crown him as their ruler.
The movie hits theaters on October 16th, 2009.

Poster Unveiled for Where the Wild Things Are
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Upcoming Releases
I have no idea why children might run crying from this movie.
After enduring rumors of reshoots and terrifying test screenings, Spike Jonze‘s Where the Wild Things Are will finally unfold in theaters on October 16. (That’s nearly one year after its original release date.) The adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s popular children’s book will combine live-action, CGI, animatronics and enormous puppets to tell its story.
The film, shot in Australia, stars Forest Whitaker, Paul Dano and Catherine Kenner. You can see two more stills from movie after the jump.

Is Where the Wild Things Are Scaring Children?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
Scores of parents have used Where the Wild Things Are to help put their children to sleep. Unfortunately, a viewing of Spike Jonze‘s film adaptation could reportedly leave those same children with a few nightmares.
Jonze, the Oscar-nominated director behind Being John Malkovich, has been in the process of bringing Maurice Sendak’s children’s book to the big screen. Unfortunately, poor test screenings may have forced Warner Bros. to push the film’s release date to 2009.
According to internet reports, children were so frightened by the scary images, they left the theater crying. (Well that’s no good.) One tester supposedly said, “The things are not cute. Max comes off a bit weird and off-putting. He slaps his mom! And he seems confused and not charming at all.”
Well, if it makes Spike feel any better, I thought Tim Burton would do great things with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - and that movie creeped me out as well. So if nothing else, at least he’ll be keeping good company.
