‘Where The Wild Things Are’ Gets A New Poster
Thus far there has been little information released (or leaked) from the much anticipated Spike Jonze live adaptation of the classic storybook Where the Wild Things Are (save for a few photos here and there) but today we get to check out the first promo poster for the film which is due to hit theaters this October. Rumor has it that the first trailer will show ahead of showings of the upcoming 3D animated film Monsters vs. Aliens … but, for now, here’s the poster:
Now this is a great poster! The guys over at the Spike Jonze Fan Blog have discovered the first poster for Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are movie, which Warner Brothers has currently set for release on October 16th. We still haven’t seen anything besides a few early photos from this, but word is that the trailer will officially show in front of Monsters vs. Aliens in a few weeks, so stay tuned. I’m quite excited, because although there’s been some reported troubles, all of that has only built up my expectations even more.
What a great poster! I really had my doubts that a live-action movie would ever be close to maybe doing justice to the magnificent book but … the tiny peeks we’ve gotten to see of Spike Jonze’s work, I think he might be able to pull it off. It’s been so long since I’ve read the book myself, I might have to dig out my copy when I next go home to Detroit to refresh my mind. I am really excited to see this story come to life … my gut tells me it’s gonna be goooood. Woot!

This is one of my favorite childhood books…I still have it!
I hope the movie does it justice…it is so hard to bring the magic of a book to the big screen…

I love the poster! I’ve always loved this book and have high hopes for the film adaptation. My toddler daughter has just discovered this book and she can pretty much tell you what happens – “Max was bad – he goes to his room and on a ship and there are big scary monsters – RRRAAAAAWWWRRRR!!! – and then they are happy and then he goes home and eats his dinner!”

I’ve never read this book. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before either. But the poster looks AMAZING. I want to see a trailer.

I love this book! It was one of the first books I ever read. I didn’t know there was a movie coming out. It would really benefit the children of this country to know about this movie and hopefully inspire them to read.

Ok, the poster looks AWESOME, but I’m worried about the script.. Seriously, there is not much to the book, I hope they have some incredible writers to make it come to life…..
