Good Luck!

With the imminent release of  the movie check out this site ,Terrible yellow eyes,  for some great tributes to  Maurice Sendak’s classic. This should keep some people ticking over until Spike Jonze’s movie arrives.

Forget Watchmen, forget Batman the most highly anticipated movie adaptaion of an illustrated original has to to be the upcoming Spike Jones’ adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are! Undoubtedly the book is one of the most prolific children’s collections, having introduced and influenced countless artists at a young age to detailed illustration with strong narrative backing.
Uber imaginative director Spike Jonze has now adapted the acclaimed children’s book into a full-length film, set to release on October 16, 2009. Jonze’s film uses a combination of natural lighting, moody color pallet, and indie rock styling’s of The Arcade Fire soundtrack which embraces the spirit of the book, yet includes subtle angst with an aura of loneliness and live action. The film uses and combines real actors, computer animation and live-action puppeteering. Co-written by McSweeneys supremo Dave Eggers, this has me shaking in my boots with excitment.

If only they can be pursuaded to make a Fraggles movie I’d be in heaven!
