LET THE WILD RUMPUS START!

We’re all aware that in just  2 1/2 weeks Where the Wild Things Are will be in theatres, right?  Everything about this project seems to be a grab bag of top-of-their-game creativity.  Maurice Sendak’s renowned children’s book, directed by Spike Jones, written by Dave Eggars, soundtrack by Karen O, trailer music by Arcade Fire. 

 

Check out the trailer, it’s goose bump worthy.

 

There’s also a really cool featurette with Maurice Sendak,  Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers.

 

Have you read the original book?  If not, check out a PDF scan of it here.

Not big into reading?  That’s OK, Barack Obama will read it to you.

 

If you haven’t heard the soundtrack, stream it from imeem.com here.  To top it all off, Dave Eggers is creating a novelization of the book and a piece of it is available through the New Yorker here.

 

See you at the pictures.
