Warner Bros is willing to venture WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE with Jonze!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an interesting bit about the adaptation of childhood classic WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE being helmed by Spike Jonze. Universal had the project, but I guess they decided CURIOUS GEORGE was as big a kiddie movie as they needed, so they put the project in turnaround. Warner Bros has picked up the film now, complete with Jonze and the total package from before. Jonze is one of the most interesting filmmakers working and I'm dying to see how he translates this book. What about you?
