Every US kid born in the ’80s probably had Where the Wild Things Are read to them at some point. It’s an infectious(ly illustrated) story about a kid called Max who likes wearing scary animal costumes and being all growly.
One day, after some horrible little-boy shenanigans, he’s confined to his bedroom, where he explores a universe of wild but benign creatures. He is ultimately made King of All the Wild Things.
A few years ago Spike Jonze signed on to make a film adaptation of the book — one of those things that gives us chills and seems too good to be true. But hey, it’s not: at your left is the official poster.
Perfect, right? We thought so too. Though for some reason we always imagine Max with facial hair.
Tagline: There’s one in all of us. Film comes out this October. More about it all here.
