Where the Wild Things Are

Monday - August 3, 2009, by Klara Swantesson

Most people know the great children story “Where the Wild Things Are”, by Maurice Sendak. Little Max in his wolf suit that travels to the imaginary land of the wild creatures…

Good news -  the story is now made into a feature film, written by Spike Jones and Dave Eggars and directed by Spike Jones. Looking at the stills and trailer, it seems like it actually can work, transforming a ten sentences illustrated book into a film that big children like me would like to see.

In Denmark we will have to wait until the end of November this year for the release, in the U.S. you can catch it in October.

Super! Thanx for the tip. Must be an honour for old Maurice to have his work transformed into such a big project…

And what a dream to be a part of the project as animator!

Oh, yes! Wes Anderson goes animation. For real. Probably a hit! If not, just a trip…
