dude they look awesome! this is exactly how i envisioned the movie in my head. i think making the move a little dark is the only way to go

Hahaha!!! they all look so fucking cool...can't wait for this!

Looking Good Mr. Jonze. Looking good.

Wow. These are incredible. Incredible.

"Ugh. Skateboards. That's like so five years ago."

even the response, "that's like so..." is so five years ago. Just because you've quit doesn't everyone else has.

Some folks still need to appreciate a good dose of facetiousness. You are not helping matters any.

I'm just angry that I can't skate anymore and am taking it out on just about anyone. teehee!

i think that's a quote from clueless...

Wow..they are amazing

Very natural looking monsters. Were they cgi or animatronic or a mix of both?

they're a mix. They are actors in full body costumes and then the faces were animated using CGI

They look amazing, I love how it's all physical effects for the most part.

These are straight out of my childhood. I can not wait for this film.

Those look awesome. Makes we want to learn how to skate.

Read this great interview. From what I remember, there are men in huge 7 foot tall suits, and they would "act out" the performance to the voices of their characters and then cgi would be used on their faces to animate them.

WOW!!! those look great!!! very creepy, yet somehow adorable. cant wait to FINALLY see this flick!

I hate skateboards....yet I might just get one of those.

Which one is supposed to to be Gandolfini? Whitaker? Dano? Any way they look awesome. WTWTA is quickly moving up the ranks to be my #1 most anticipated for 2009.

Man, those look great. I can't wait to see this.

I can't wait to see the movie again. It is hard to believe that it has been well over a year since I have seen that movie but the visuals are still vivid in my mind. The boards just made me remember that wonderful movie experience.

COOL! I love it, can't wait to see it. Hopefully it grabs the mysterious feel to it like the book had for me.
This has been one of my favorite childhood books, I even played Max in a kindergarten play.

Wow, I love these. The feelings these monsters give off. . they all give an air of sadness. It is hard not to be drawn into their sad eyes. Very mysterious and very nice.

The girl skateboard site has an interview with Spike Jonze and a screen grab from the movie... Why did you leave all of that out?!?!

Read!

Love it. Really good stuff. Hope it turns out well.

I love how they look so much like the book plus a real life kind of feel. I can't wait for this movie to come out.

I aint going to lie to you I'm as equally scared as I am amazed by the photos of the monsters.

No wonder the studio threw a fit over the design and tried to pull the plug.

The monstero look scary and wonderful all at one time!

holy shit I can't wait for this movie

Wow! I am truly impressed with that way the monsters came out! The "wild things" look really good and (thank allah) not to cheesy! Great board designs!
..also..
I love how Spike Jonze pushes the envelope when it comes to skate videos!

Man, this movie is going to be so epic. I find it funny though that we get skateboards before we get a proper trailer.

I'm already back in my childhood!!! That looks quite awsome....

Perfect!

lets go jonze!!!!!!

wow those look just like how my imagination made them as was child.
can't wait for this film

Gorgeous. At least we know they go the design of the wild things right, I mean they seem dead on from the book. And that means a lot.

Thats fantastic! I get the feeling of a child-hood classic for many kids out there, actually just a classic for everyone!

That's pretty tight. I like the updated Dark Crystal feel of the characters

I'm usually never impressed or even phased by any pics released on the net, but all of these blew my mind.

Production Design and Costumes will always have work after this film is released (probably did already, but you get my drift...) These look fantastic. I love anticipating a film this much, and I also love when it absolutely delivers. Here's hoping.

look up "lakai" shoes, they are skateboard shoes that are affiliated with Girl Skateboards, they have shoes with these same graphics on them coming out

I dont raelly have any hype or interest in thsi movie...maybe cause i didnt read the story?

Dude all of these monsters look sad. Horribly, depressingly sad.
I mean they look amazing, but why are they all so sad

I can't wait.

this looks amazing but i was hoping it would b a lil darker, lik r-rated type stuff. Kinda lik if guillermo del toro, tim burton and jonze collaborated.

They look amazing. I'm guessing they're only for display in your room or something though. I wouldn't wanna mess these up.

Wow...can't say anything more than that...well...actually I can. This is B-E-A-U-tiful!!! I grew up with this as my favorite of child hood books & was scared shortless that it'd be a botch of a job...this pretty much flushes that notion down the toilet. Honestly I wanted Gilliam to have a hand in this...but it seems like ole' Spike's got his finger on the pulse all the way to the heart. Being an ex-skater that still likes to push...my heart skipped beats when I saw the Girl line of boards...probably have to make that purchase!

this is gonna be f'in classic

Barring something going horribly wrong, this is probably going to be my favorite film of next year. Cannot wait.

Wow...Those are really great looking. Makes what seems like an extremely long wait for this movie to come out seem that much longer.
