Let the Wild Rumpus Start!

When I heard there was to be a live-action Where the Wild Things Are movie, I was kind of pissed off. Fine, Hollywood. Between this and the Transformers movie and the "hipping up" of Strawberry Shortcake, go ahead and exploit my childhood some more. But then ... I saw the trailer. And I teared up. Seriously. I almost cried (and I don't even really like the Arcade Fire, but that song is perfect).

Here it is if you haven't seen it yet.



I grabbed one of the production stills, and made a quick photoshop with my little Wild Thing, too:
And yes, she does have a wolf suit. And yes, she often makes mischief of one kind and another.

Awww.

I totally teared up watching the trailer too.

That photoshop is really cute. That movie looks awesome, and I might be mistaken but I believe that that Arcade Fire song is actually being sung by the one and only David Byrne.

Ok I'm mistaken. Upon listening again it doesn't sound like him. I knew that he had sung with them, and I guess my mind wandered that way.

I hadn't heard that they were making the book into a movie -that is a must see and must buy when it comes out on DVD. thanks for the heads up.

I've avoided that preview like the plague, until now. I have to admit I was smiling at the end.

Just maybe...
