Where the Wild Things Are

The first taste of the highly anticipated screen adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story 'Where the Wild things Are'. The production credits tick all the right boxes for me especially with Spike Jonze at the helm, Catherine Keener as the mother, Forest Whitaker, Angus Sampson (from Thanks God you Here fame), Sydney's very own John Leary (The Mad Max Remix) and even Karen O from the YYY composing the score but i just hope that this film doesn't wobble the pedestal that the book sit on for me or for that matter the generation of Children who grew up with this book. I am interested in how they will extend the 15 something page book into a feature film, lets hope it is not all filler no killer. The film was shot in 2006 in Melbourne. This trailer looks promising...Fingers crossed. Let the royal rumpus bring.
