First Look: The Movie Trailer For ‘Where The Wild Things Are’
Earlier this week I mentioned that the movie trailer for Where The Wild Things Are would be premiering ahead of showings of Monsters vs. Aliens in theaters starting this Friday BUT it turns out that the trailer had made its way to the Internets just a couple of days earlier. Pink reader Brenda gave me the head’s up that the first trailer for Spike Jonze’s adaptation of the amazing storybook has been posted online. Here are a few screencaps:

OMG … it looks incredible. From just the trailer alone you can tell that the story of Max has been fortified considerably. There is a darkness to the tralier that alludes to a darkness in the film. I’m so excited. After the jump, check out the trailer for Where The Wild Things Are in full for yourselves …
Love the music, love the wild things … I’m so pleased. Again, the film does not hit theaters until October 16 of this year but it looks like we are in for a real treat when it finally does get released. I love this trailer … do you?

The song is Wake Up by Arcade Fire. Their song My Body is a Cage was also used in the trailer for The Mysterious Case of Benjamin Button. Check them out… amazing, amazing band.

I am a HUGE fan of Catherine Keener. The trailer would only play into under a minute and then freeze up. I love what I saw. Thanks Trent!

PLEASE be rated G…PLEASE be rated G…
No kid movies are rated G anymore. Why not?? All the cartoons are PG. It’s not right…

Omg, that looks amazing! Love the kid – he’s so cute. Love the huge furry costumes. Can’t wait!

Wow, that looks awesome!! I am pumped. And in response to la princesa, I hope it’s NOT rated G. I guess if you have kids you want innocent shows, but I want a bit of danger and fear and adventure that comes with a (at least) PG rating….
