Robots Are The Best
Spike Jonze is currently directing a film adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s timeless children’s book Where The Wild Things Are. The film adaptation is scripted by Dave Eggers and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is doing the music. Um… sounds like a wet dream to me (I know MadEx is excited too). To top it off, they got an unknown child actor named Max Records to play the leading role of Max. That’s like three extra cool points just cuz his name is Max Records.
Here’s a very early screen test which, according to Jonze, is just to test out the facial effects of the creatures and doesn’t have the look or feel of the actual movie (no, the kid in the clip is not Max Records). Still, it’s a really fun clip.
The latest news is that Warner Brothers want to completely reshoot Where The Wild Things Are because, well… it’s not commercial enough. This would likely lead to Spike Jonze (and Max Records) either quitting or being fired off the project. WHAT??? I sincerely hope that the world is not going to be this lame.
