Where the Wild Things are.

[Octoberist]

i honestly think that a trailer won't be ready until maybe Harry Potter. Perfect demographic.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Harry Potter would be good to unleash this trailer, though I don't see why they wouldn't release it in maybe march or something. Build some hype for this filim

 

[Cinemaman]

I don't think Gandolfini was in the test footage. I could be wrong though

Wow, didn't know there was a scene out all that time

Although it's been a long time since I last read the book, I was wondering with the test footage and pics we've seen if this movie is going to be set in the jungle.

That's one thing I remember about the book was it was in a crazy jungle when he meets the 'wild things'.

I dont think it'll be your classic jungle like in the book. But it seems to me it'll be in a forest type area for sure

That's just the test footage. I dont think it will be at all indicitive of what the actual film will be

 

[Dark Victory]

They're making CLOUDY, WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS???

Yep.

Judging from the pic, it's gonna blow.

i htink this movie will nto make a profit if the budget is more then 50 milions. so what will happen?
i think there will be two groups. one group who will like the movie because it will be faithfull and different in this time.

the other group will bash the movie because it will nto make a big profit. i noticed a lot of mmbers here who judge the quality based on the BO.
the fact is that some movies are just not for the masses.if you do a superman movie,batman movie,spiderman,terminator movie it has to make milions. first of all it is promoted for the mases and the budgets are huge for a viausl spectacle. even the stories are mroe for the masses.

and there were tons of movie that were mindblowing with huge directors and actors and they still didnt make milions.

 

[Cinemaman]

I feel critics will be the ones, who will bash the film for dumb reasons.

Well, if the final edit is at least two times better, I will be even more excited.

 

[Octoberist]

I really really think this is the next Nightmare Before Christmas, NOT in terms of content, but in terms of a following.

I really really think this is the next Nightmare Before Christmas, NOT in terms of content, but in terms of a following.

It technically already has a following though.

Do you know how many kids from my generation and around it grew up reading this book?

It won't mean that they will definitely catch the movie in the theatres but I'm sure most will check it out on DVD for Nostalgia's sake.

 

[K.B.]

I think those of us who grew up reading the book and now have kids will bring their children to see it. I know that when my son was born Where the Wilds Things Are was one of the first books I bought him t:

 

[Go Web Go!]

This looks creepy as hell. I'll probably check it out just because I enjoyed the book as a kid.

 

[Space Moose]

Wow, didn't know there was a scene out all that time

It was just test footage to se if the SFX technique (puppets with CGI faces) would work.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE? IN FRONT OF MONSTERS VS ALIENS

If you've been wondering when the hell you're going to finally see footage from Spike Jonze's adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are, wonder no more. A scooper tells us that the trailer - not a teaser, he specifies, but a full length trailer - will be in front of Monsters vs Aliens. Finally, a reason to see that movie!

Our scooper actually saw the trailer, and here's his full report on it:

-Where The Wild Things Are trailer is debuting in 2 weeks in front of Monsters vs. Aliens

-Not a teaser, full 3-min trailer, scored to 'Wake Up' by Arcade Fire (it fits beautifully, and is either the 3rd or 4th time the band has agreed to license their music, won't be in the actual film obviously)

-Try as I might, I can't verbalize how I felt about the trailer beyond the most grandiose superlatives: 'beautiful' and 'gorgeous' and 'breathtaking', making me sound like Pete Hammond. The environments in particular (there's a sequence of cutting between 4 shots of Max running through different environments that is absolutely magical) are a work of incredible vision, especially in light of the production methods Spike opted for. It does feel like a 'kids movie' (not pejorative): the trailer repeatedly made me about eight years old, over and over again. Unless I'm an idiot, and you'll see yourself in a week or two, the finalized monsters are some kind of incredible technical achievement.

-Much of the VFX work went to detailed facial animations on the monster's eyes and faces to give them a functional expressive palette. That remains the only post work left before release. They look nothing short of real and feel very alive and very, very huggable.

Sounds awesome.

This better not be a fake out

[Matt Mortem]

pooped myself, just a little, at that news. Fantastic. I was gonna see MvA anyway and now I have a reason to do it opening day!!

 

[Double Down]

The poster is out now, too.

 

[terry78]

Haha, for people that haven't read the book, that poster looks a tad creepy...the kid is howling in horror, and "one in all of us" could mean he's about to get ate.
