MTV Knows WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE!

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

Okay... I know I’ve been fairly upbeat about most of the films I’ve posted stories about today. Sue me... I’m optimistic until I have a reason not to be. But in the case of the upcoming Spike Jonze film version of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, I am absolutely out-of-my-mind rabid to see the movie, and I would kill Harry and wear his skin like a Tauntaun if I thought it would get me one day closer to seeing the movie right now.

Over at the MTV Movies Blog, where they’ve been doing good work lately, they managed to score a high-res version of the image that was unveiled at the Licensing Show in New York, the first official image anywhere for the film.

And all it does is make the wait even harder. This one’s got the potential to be something very special, and I pray it lives up to that potential.






Oh, man. Tell me that doesn’t make you feel positively giddy about the possibilities...



Drew McWeeny, Los Angeles
