fyi, romina.

two of my favourite people-in-the-world-whom-i-have-never-met, spike jonze and dave eggers, have combined powers and created a movie adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are.

where the wild things are is a dark and disturbingly awesome short story that would translate so well to the silver screen, especially in the hands of the director who created these and the author who wrote this.

the movie was suppose to have come out this month but the brothers of warner delayed its release because it was too weird. here is some old footage that actually looks and feels nothing like the movie soooo probably a waste of time to watch.

supposedly at the secret test screening, children cried and asked their parents to leave.

umm.. AWESOME? seeing as the monsters in the story once gave my six year old self nightmares, their responses seem more then appropriate and perhaps stand testament to the truthfulness of the adaptation.

the millions of dollars budgeted movie is now being re-shot by mr. jonze and expected to come out in 2009.

booooo reshoots.

p.s. i hate people who baby children and talk to them like they're idiots. kids are smart. they can handle a lot more then their stupid parents think they can.
p.p.s. home alone mom catherine o'hara voices a character in the film. hilarious!
