I hear tell that Spike Jonze is deep in a live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's book Where the Wild Things Are. I was obsessed with this book as a child. It struck me with both fear and awe, a combination of sentiments that I am still fond of as a grown up. I was always moved by stories that involved suddenly stumbling into alternate realities; and, as such, I also went nutty over C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia series and Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quartet series. I'm also still a fan of stumbling into alternate realities, which perhaps I'll do before I go see this film. Don't fuck it up, Spike!

The Jim Henson Company is doing it, so you know it's going to be astounding. I'm so happy someone still understands that puppets look realer than CGI.
