Four months to go, and we just don’t run out of maniacal things to say about Spike Jonze’s reimagining of Where the Wild Things Are.  This time it’s about Dave Eggers‘ book The Wild Things based on the screenplay he wrote for the movie which was based, of course, in the Sendak classic. How meta is that? But like the silhouette in the cover above, there’s something a little bit more grown up about it:

His father is gone, his mother is spending time with a younger boyfriend, his sister is becoming a teenager and no longer has interest in him. At the same time, Max finds himself capable of startling acts of wildness: he wears a wolf suit, bites his mom, and can’t always control his outbursts.

Just goes to show that good stories, no matter how many times they’re told, are always good. (via /Film)
