This movie – while probably not even registering on a lot of people’s radars – is something I’m really looking forward to. ADAPTATION is my all-time favourite movie, so I’m excited for anything that Spike Jonze does and Dave Eggers is one of my very favourite writers.
The film, WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, is about a mischievous little dude named Max that creates his own world: a forest inhabited by fabulous wild creatures who crown Max their ruler. Jonze directs from a screenplay that Eggers adapted from the original book by Maurice Sendack. And as if the creative talent wasn’t enough, Catherine Keener, Forest Whitaker and Michelle Williams lead the cast.
