Time to cap the day with a few beers, the robot, and a slightly promising tidbit: Warner Bros. has finally set a (final???) release date for Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are. You know, the family film based on the children’s book that has united geeks, author Maurice Sendak, hipsters and lil’ kids in a bitter internet warz against The Man and overprotective parents. Coming Soon reports that we can all meet up and celebrate our giant WIN….over a year from now, on October 16, 2009. Yah mon, this is the same release date that was announced back in February before the film was wiped off the slate. GlugGlug\o/Glug.

    good to hear! glad to see this back on the release date.

    any sources close to the production? how did the re-shoots go?
    did you know that a ghost writer from "alvin and the chipmunks" was brought in to add more material? :/

    it'd be wonderful to hear something about this, jonze is really gonna do something else with this.

    thanks for the info hunter.

    I do hope this sees the light of day, should be visually interesting at the very least. I recommend the book to anyone who's into their illustration, regardless of age or whether you have children or not. There's some excellent artwork in modern children's books, and this is a real high watermark.
