Look-see There

This is your first look at Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are.

Looks pretty, huh.

Jonze is said to have made extensive use of Down Under locales for his long-awaited take on Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s tale.

“The look and feel is very naturalistic – when our creatures knock down trees, they really knock down trees,” he said. “When I was a boy, reading this story, I imagined myself really being there – not in front of a blue screen.”

Sounds good to me.

Where the Wild Things Are will be in theaters next fall.
