Controversy Report: Where the Wild Things Are Video Clip

February 18, 2008 by Travis Jonker   4 comments

A clip (allegedly) from the film adaptation of “Where the Wild Things Are” has appeared on the internet recently, to a variety of reactions. Some say that the video isn’t authentic, some say that it is incomplete, and some say it’s the real deal. Take a look below to form your own opinion.

To my eyes, it looks pretty authentic and pretty cool. That’s not to say that it’s a finished product or that it will appear in the film, but it doesn’t seem to be fan-generated. What’s your opinion? Let us know in the comments!

(Thanks to the blog Pop Candy for the tip)

    This is a screen test from 2005 shot in Griffith Park. The young actor is Griffin Armstorff. There were four scenes shot that day and all were improv by the actor. The actor has worked with Spike before in the Yeah Yeah Yeah video, “Y-Control”.
