Where The Wild Things Are Movie
Director: Spike Jonze
Where The Wild Things Are is an adaption of an old and memorable children’s book by the same name. The movie is due to come out late into next year, and has already seen numerous push-backs since 2005. The children’s book, written originally by Maurice Sendak, told the story of a young boy called Max who had a strangely nasty habit of terrorizing his dog with a fork while wearing a wolf costume. Taking action against her son’s behaviour, Max’s mom sends the brat to his room without dinner. Alone and disgruntled, Max creates a world that he escapes to, a world inhabited by fearsome creatures who come to accept Max as their king, a world Where The Wild Things Are.
It’s tough to say at this point how different or similar the upcoming motion picture of Where The Wild Things Are will be to the book. It’s tough to even know what genre this movie would fit in as. Will it remain a true children’s story on the big screen, or will it be given a more grown-up re-working to capture a wider audience?
The monsters from the story will be represented in the movie version of Where The Wild Things Are by using huge costume puppets operated from the inside. The faces of the monsters will be done through CGI.
It should be interesting to see how the direction this motion picture retelling shall take. Keep an eye out for Where The Wild Things Are, scheduled to come out October 2009.

"That was a very early test with the sole purpose of just getting some footage to Ben our vfx (visual effects) supervisor to see if our vfx plan for the faces would work. The clip doesn't look or feel anything like the movie, the Wild Thing suit is a very early cringy prototype, and the boy is a friend of ours Griffin who we had used in a Yeah Yeah Yeahs video we shot a few weeks before. We love him, but he is not in the actually film...Oh and that is not a wolf suit, its a lamb suit we bought on the internet. Talk to you later..." - Spike Jonze, Director.
