Maurice Sendak’s ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ is my favorite book of all time. So much so, my next tattoo will be one based on the book… I just haven’t decided the what and where for right now. But I digress. As has been reported in this blog before, there is a movie in the works – and the image above, is the first that has made its way onto the internet! Although the photo doesn’t reveal too much – the character of Max looks friggn amazing!

Where the Wild Things Are is a film adaptation of a Maurice Sendak picture book of the same name. The film will be directed by Spike Jonze and written by Dave Eggers. It was originally set for release from Universal, and a teaser of the film was attached to How the Grinch Stole Christmas, a vehicle from the same studio. However, disagreements with Jonze led him to take the film to Warner Bros. The movie is expected to combine live action and CGI.
The film’s target release date is October 3, 2008. Filming began in April of 2006 at Central City Studios in Melbourne, Australia. Some location filming happened in the Queensland rain forest early in 2007.
(Central City Studios which is owned by my employers! Holy fuck I gotta get a tour of the place!)
