IMDb profile

Where the Wild Things Are is a film adaptation of a Maurice Sendak picture book of the same name. The film will be directed by Spike Jonze and written by Dave Eggers. It was originally set for release from Universal, and a teaser of the film was attached to How the Grinch Stole Christmas, a vehicle from the same studio. However, disagreements with Jonze led him to take the film to Warner Bros. The movie is expected to combine live action and CGI with a possibility of a G rating.
