First peek at Jonze’s ‘Where the Wild Things Are’

I’ve been waiting for this movie for nigh a… two decades, and Spike Jonze just released a big photo and some screen shots he tossed on some skateboards he’s making to promote the movie. The monsters look perfect: disturbing yet, oddly, cuddly and harmless. And they save the movie from the sort of terrible studio dilution that kills film adaptations of the most ambitious, artistically inclined children’s literature, Harry Potter shit notwithistanding. I’m told those are pretty good.
