Spike Jonze's film adaptation of the children's book by Maurice Sendak, Where The Wild Things Are is going to be epic, fucking epic! I can not wait until its release later this year. I love the stills i have seen from it so far and I even found some test footage which i will share with you, below. I also found out that Disney owned the rights to the book back in the 1980's, when I was just a twinkle in my Daddys eye. They set upon making it into a film, mixing the old-school disney animation with 3D computery graphics (Im shit with computers, but it looks like Toy Story, etc). Anyway they ended up abandoning the project and lost the rights. I found a sneak peek at some of the footage they had produced so far, which i will also share with you.
Finally I had been searching high and low for the trailer of the film and came out fruitless when my good friend Rory came to the rescue and sent me a link, Thank you Rawwwwwwwwwwwry! So, enjoy these little clips. This film is seriously going to change my life. I mean the music to the trailer is ARCADE FIRE, God its just a film sent from heaven really.
