Video Trailer: Where the Wild Things Are

Hope.
Fear.
Adventure.

I can get into that.

Plus the kid looks a whole lot like my Portland honey, J-H.

The movie adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are opens October 16th.

Sendak's book terrified me when I was a kid. Not in a nervous Cat in the Hat kind of a way; in a subverting the dominant paradigm I want to do that too kind of way.

Of especial interest is the documentary that director Jonez has also made about Where the Wild Things Are author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, a clip of which is available via the NYTimes website (left side rail) »

The documentary airs Oct 14th on HBO. (Or so says the NYT. Nothing online at HBO about it quite yet.)
