Over the past day or so, an image from Spike Jonze’s upcoming (10/3/08) adaptation of the classic children’s novel “Where the Wild Things Things Are” has been floating around the ‘net. The photo in question was taken at Warner Bros.’ booth at the Licensing Show here in NYC. Well, we went the extra mile and dug up the actual high-res image of the young boy flanked by two enormous creatures. Click on the image below to see the coolness in its full glory.

I heard that Maurice Sendek based the “Wild Things” on his wacky Jewish relatives.
True story.

What’s “the licensing show?” Are they going to have toys and such from this movie?

WOW!…i am definately excited about this… I was worried when i heard it was being made, BUT this image + the fact that Spike Jonez is Directing it, really makes me happy. “Being John malcovich” and “adaptation” were both great…. THIS WILL BE EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent story that transcends generations. I hope the movie lives up to the original premise. Tough to take such a short story and make a movie of it.
fingers crossed.

Don’t worry about the cgi, I know for a fact that animal (happy feet, 300) logic are doing it. They will do a great job.
