Where the Wild Things Are

As you may have heard or seen recently, the film "Where the Wild Things Are" is slated to drop this fall and it looks like it is going to be an absolute masterpiece. The two minute trailer (featuring the song "Wake Up," by Arcade Fire-a perfect soundtrack) allows you to catch of glimpse of Max's magical world and leaves you wanting to explore it for a full two hours. The creatures themselves look like they were pulled directly from Maurice Sendak's pages and it is amazing how real they actually appear. A few days ago a featurette which includes interviews with Spike Jonze, the director, and Maurice Sendak, the original author. This short clip allows you to take a small look at the creative process behind this film and the relationship between Jonze and Sendak, and you even get a peak at some behind the scenes footage from the set. This is a must see, and if this does not get you pumped about the movie there I do not know what will. Enjoy, I know I did.
