A new poster hit the net for Where the Wild Things Are – the Maurice Sendak’s children’s book adapted to a feature film by Spike Jonze.
The poster looks great, and though Max looks like he is crying, I imagine he is roaring his terrible roar.
I am interested to see how they flesh out 2 minutes worth of storytelling into a feature film, but so far the visuals look dead on to the book.

I heard that the studio heads didn’t like how dark and ominous Jonze made the movie. Hopefully it still turns out alright, he is a good director. I never thought I would see a movie for this book, but I am looking forward to it!
i heard that we are getting a severly watered down version of what was originally filmed because test screening proved too frightning for children
Kids need to be frightened. It helps protect them from future terrors, like roofing and driveway scams.
The book took me like 5 minutes to read when I was younger. I wonder how they are going to expand the time and what they are going to fill it with.
5 minutes? Did you have to sound out the words?
There is a video narration of this on Youtube that is 3 minutes long.
I imagine the one page where the wild things don’t want Max to go is going to turn into a major plot development.
give me a break, i counted seconds it took to turn the page.
The Wookie has no pants.
i think spike jones is a great, visual director and from what ive seen from the stills this looks amazing…this is a good story and a great tale about the imagination…good to see a guy like spike at the helm…should be a great family flick and i cant wait
man this is one of those books u are read in the library while in 1st grade…..really takes me back…..haha love it when he returns and the soup his mom made is in his room.
please, let this be good.
I’m with you.
i love the book cant wait for the movie but i just want to see a trailer before i jump on this movie.
I have been waiting so see some news from this movie forever. Heard Spike and the studio were really going at it on this film! I don’t know the details of their “discussion” but I can assume it wasn’t all fun and games.
The early pics from some leaked stuff was so right on and now this pic really confirms the look of the movie. I hope this is really cool!
Eh…thats an alright poster…nothing big
That hairy beast next to the kid looks plenty big to me.
