Of any movie coming out this year I may be most excited about Where the Wild Things Are. Based on the children’s book by Maurice Sendak and due to be released Oct 16, this film is written by Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers. Jonze also directed the movie.
Why so excited?
1) The children’s book: an old favorite.
2) Dave Eggers: Author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and one of my all time favorite books What is the What?.
3) Spike Jonze: Director of Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and some of the best commercials and music videos of all time, for example, the video for Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim and featuring Christopher Walken.
4) The preview (featuring Arcade Fire): It’s a must-watch. So look below and check it out for yourself.
Then go see it on October 16th! We can’t wait!!
