Spike Jonze's WHERE THE WILD THINGS is getting ready to shoot!

Hey folks, Harry here with the latest on a project that we haven't checked in on in way, way, waaaay too long. WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Spike Jonze. There are few projects as basically cool as this one. Maurice Sendak's book is one of the purest joys of childhood. Max going off to play with the monsters. Bliss. And in Spike's hands I can't imagine how friggin awesome this will be. And it sounds like he is, of course, doing it exactly right...

Catherine Keener speaking to Charlie Rose on Friday’s show:

“I’m getting ready to work with him again. He’s doing Where the Wild Things Are. He’s doing it in New Zealand. I’m playing the mom looking for Max. Then there will be six actors or so performing the roles of the monsters, the wild things. And then Henson’s company is making puppets.”
