Man, if they don’t stop putting out Where The Wild Things Are teasers, people are gonna start thinking that the film may actually be coming to theaters. Take a look at the just-released trailer for the film:

Okay, can we all agree that things are looking pretty good? The visuals are certainly encouraging, but the soundtrack is what seals the deal for me. Wake Up by Arcade Fire is one of the best songs of the last few years, and the fact that it turns up in the film version of my favorite picture book is getting me excited for what’s to come. In theaters October 16.

Totally agree about Arcade Fire. Great band, great song. As for the movie, I just don’t know, though I do think Spike Jonez is probably the right guy to direct. I discovered “Where The Wild Things Are” as an adult — don’t recall reading much as a kid — and it really opened my eyes to the possibilities. There’s such psychological depth to that story.

[…] But, there’s money to be made, so we got HORTON HEARS A WHO (which I didn’t see, although I suppose in the interest of the blog I should add it to my netflix list), and now there’s a movie version of Maurice Sendak’s WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE is in the works. 100 Scope Notes (and various others, but I saw it there first) has the trailer.
