WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE!

If you didn't read and fall in love with Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak when you were a kid then chances are you are a little bit fucked in the head. One of the most amazing books ever is being made into a movie. I would have killed for a costume like Max's when I was 10.

internet nerds like me spend far too much time obsessing over shit like this, but when Spike Jonze took the job of director and decided to put people in costumes rather than CGI, the cockles of my heart warmed right up and I had a semi-erection.

The clip below was thought to be a leaked scene from the film but has turned out to be nothing but a costume test, as Spike says:

"That was a very early test with the sole purpose of just getting some footage to Ben our vfx (visual effects) supervisor to see if our vfx plan for the faces would work. The clip doesn’t look or feel anything like the movie, the Wild Thing suit is a very early cringy prototype, and the boy is a friend of ours Griffin who we had used in a Yeah Yeah Yeahs video we shot a few weeks before. We love him, but he is not in the actually [sic] film...Oh and that is not a wolf suit, its a lamb suit we bought on the internet. Talk to you later..."

Despite all this, Warner Bros are said to be close to scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch because, wait for it - it's too scary for kids. Mardy arsed fuckers - it's Spike Jonze for goodness sake - what the fuck did you expect?
