Where The Wild Things Are - Spike Jonze film adaption

waaaaah that looks FAB :cool::cool: both my older kids (nearly 6 and 3) just watched the trailer round-eyed. Can't wait to take them to see this - the trailer reminds me of Labyrinth and other Jim Henson stuff in general feel.
 
These WTWTA trailers always leave me in floods of tears. I'm not sure why. I'm not particularly soppy, or sad. :confused:

i didn't want to admit to it but i was on the verge of welling up myself...

if it's a disappointment there will be widespread resentment because it's a well-loved book for so many people. i'm so pleased that they've not tried to make it too glossy, the wild things look like the wild things... yep, i'm excited :)
I showed shiftyjunior the trailer and he was grinning too.
 
a wild rumpus is a really fundamental concept from my childhood going to goingto going to see this

new trailer:



looks great...




this is the trailer that I have been seeing in the cine. seems to fairl guarentee that I well up when I watch them.

intersesting wathcing the trailers against each other. The second on semms to give a more grown up feel to the film IMO.


none of my friends knew the book :confused: and kind of shrug a bit whenever I get enthused about the movie
 
Whoa whoa whoa. It just looks boring, I was bored by that trailer. Giant muppets walking around lots of empty landscape, very little depth to anything. On top of that Spike JonZe is an overrated and mostly rather crap director.
 
Husband saw a rough cut a few weeks ago - said it was very, very intriguing, not schmaltzy, quite the opposite.

But you may want to consider this weepiper - he said that for him it was much more a film about childhood intended for adults, rather than a film for young kids. He's not going to take our three-year-old to see it as there are some quite harrowing concepts in there around family conflict. (Though he is pretty sensitive about what our kid watches and doesn't watch, so might be over-concerned.)

I also cry whenever I watch the trailer. I thought it was just pregnancy hormones. :)
 
Do the people who think this looks rubbish like the book, but distrust Spike Jonze to do it?

I haven't read the childrens book. I was going purely on the trailer which looks really boring, maybe it assumes you know the book. I can't see anything particularly 'spike jonez' about the trailer but then my main problem with jonez is that he is simply overrated.
 
Looks amazing. :D

BTW - Scarlett johanssen's husband in Lost in translation (the Photographer)...thats supposed to be based in Spike Jonze, thank you please.
