Where the Wild Things Are ~ brand new trailer.

Here is the brand spanking new trailer for Where the Wild Things Are.
I am rather disappointed to hear about the re-shoot and edit to make the film less scary and more family-friendly. Who did they think they were aiming this film at? Directed by Spike Jonze, one of the most haunting children’s book, trailer’s scored by Arcade Fire.

They seem to be hitting straight to the heart of an audience that they are not aiming for. Me!

I re-read the book today. Took all of two minutes, but it still scares me a little. I think it’s the fact that the monsters are so wild that, even though they love Max, they growl and gnash their teeth at him when he leaves. That, and the completely unique style they are drawn in.
