Where Is That Clip From WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE?!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here. So it looks like Warner Bros. has spent most of the weekend chasing a leaked clip from WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE around the internet. It started its viral life over at Buzznet, and since then it’s been popping up all over the place. And along with the clip, there’s been a lot of speculation about what it is and where it fits into the movie. People are wondering if it’s test footage or an actual clip or what. Let’s check it out before they yank it again, and then I’ll try to explain what I know about it:
YANKED!!!!
Now, I’ve seen this film. Or rather, I saw a version of it. And I can tell you that there’s a reason this film isn’t coming out in 2008 anymore. There’s a lot of work left to do on it, and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about some fairly massive reshoots in the months ahead.
I wish I could be more specific, but because of how I saw it, I can’t offer any sort of real review. I can tell you that there’s something odd about the clip above. The Wild Thing in that clip is Carrol, played in the version I saw by James Gandolfini. That is most definitely NOT Gandolfini’s voice in that clip though. But it’s a very finished piece of film, because in the rough footage, none of the Wild Things have articulated faces. The costumes were all built to have immobile features that would be replaced in post-production by CGI, and it looks like this clip has had that work done on it.
So what are we looking at? Tone-wise, this is the film. It’s a little bit strange, a little bit sad, and it looks like a real world, not some greenscreen fantasy land.
We’ll keep you posted on this one as work continues on it, but for right now, this one’s a looooooooong way away, so enjoy this little taste.

Groovy. And first.

Who wanna smash some fruit? Black Gallagher Bitch!
-
I got warrants!
-
Very Beautiful and REAL looking! I'm very tired of overly slick, super fake, headachey, cg environments.
-
Kinda interesting... but I really hope the final is more magical, less "real world". Who needs the real world in a movie? We've already seen reality and it sucks.

I think I would have prefered something more "Hensonesque"
by IndustryKiller!
With a little more built in wonder, a little more atmosphere. The clip looked like the tone is a bit, I dunno, Brechtian. The overly obvious mascot looking suit, the very real world looking blandish location. I guess I was expecting a bit more imagination to the setting as well as the monsters rather than a more straightforward approach. I was supposed to go to the screening in Pasadena Mori went to but couldn't make it and had to give my place to some friends who really didn't care for the film at all and this looks basically like what they described. It's Jonez though, who has more than earned the benefit of the doubt.
-
so far. I really thought this was going to be a homerun, sadly this looks very bland. Massive reshoots? The land of a childs imagination looks like a random field? For having such a visually interesting director at the helm I was really expecting some inventive eye candy. Well, I hope they get their shit together.
-
Big fan of Spike Jonze but why is half of this scene shot from about 100 yards away? And why do you think it needs massive reshoots, Mori?
-
Looks bad.
-
adapting the Sabotage music video into a feature film.
-
Unless this clip is absolutely nothing like the rest of the movie. I mean, I loved this book as a kid. This clip doesn't have the magical fantastic atmosphere that the book does. The monster costume looks great, but that's about it. And what's with them wandering through the woods? They were on a really sweet tropical island in the book. And is it just me, or was there something rather off about the sound sync between the monster's animation and its vocal work?
-
Funny that was brought up because I said while watching it, "So it didn't use CGI but I bet somebody will complain that it doesn't look good...but if they had used CGI we'd hear about how crappy and fake it looked."
-
I've always felt--and still do--that this really isn't a book that you can make a just film adapatation. I hope I'm wrong though...
-
what the hell was going on there?
-
The creature, that is, looks perfect and thank God they used practical and not cgi.
-
I've never heard of this movie before, but it is obviously not geared toward me. Fuck, that didn't make any sense at all!
-
Give me a fucking break.
-
kinda Micheal Bay-ish
-
Why the fuck did anyone think that they could spin a slight yarn over 90+ minutes of screen time? WTWTA is a fantastic childrens book. I was read it as a child and now I read it to my children. It's by degrees scary, thrilling and mysterious. A film version, for children, can't be any of those things. It's just a bad, bad idea from start to finish to make a film out of something which is complete and perfect at only 26 pages long. For a couple or three generations kids have flipped the pages back and forth in an attempt to fathom how Max's bedroom transforms into a forest; when the walls finally disappear, on which page the first trees appear... And now Spike Jones has padding it out with all manner of unnecessary additional story and characterisation and seems to have come up with a weird hybrid of Gummo and Pete's Dragon :-(
-
I don't mean I wanted it to be CG, im very glad its not, but it literally looks like a college football mascot. It's got no organic qualities to it whatsoever. If you look at monsters in a film like the Labyrinth they obviously look like puppets, but they have their own feel and life and soul to them and a great sense of detail, this just looks hollow and hard.
-
are PIXAR. As a short.
-
'cos they have a knack for coming up with original material, innit.
-
I say the feel, look and everything else about this clip is fucking awesome. Sure the voice is a wee bit off (good thing it's changing) but dammit, I'm going to see this at least once in theaters and I'll be picking up the Blu-Ray for sure. spike jonez + WTWTA = Crazy Delicious
-
It sounds good, visually a bit mixed. The environment does look a bit too normal, but I liked the suit. <p> I'm not gonna sweat the lack of Gandolfini though, I like his acting but he wouldn't be my first choice for VOICE acting.
-
...but I'm up for anything that doesn't have that patented, glossy "family movie" vibe that everything aimed at kids has now. It'd be cool if Spike Jonze was trying to offer an antithesis to all that heightened reality and over-massaged visuals that kids usually get fed. I'm ready to see more of this.
-
Early CG sets, with Glen Keane animated characters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvIDRo O8KnM
-
It would be too good to pass up.
-
No, this doesn't look promising but I'll reserve judgement for the time being.
-
Sounds like we've got Sean Penn's voice here instead of Tony Soprano's. Word is they've been switching roles on this movie and finding different actors to read the same part. That's the reason why the voice work is so rough and unmixed on this clip. They haven't decided who will be playing which character yet. The CGI aspect is also a headache. Jonze doesn't know what's he's doing when it comes to effects and the CGI folks are having to pick up the slack for all the mistakes made during filming. Throw in some massive re-writes (which were waiting on the WGA strike to end) and possible reshoots (they'll at least try to salvage as much footage as they have and simply animate the heads to match the new dialogue) and this little movie won't be seen for a long time to come. Might be a good thing. From what I've heard, this picture has a very dark feel to it. Not the usual kids' movie at all.
-
And that is not the same kid, or the same max costume, and if they replaced the awesome kid and awesome max costume from the version I saw they heavily blew it, though I believe this is some test footage done before real filming, because that max costume wasn't nearly as detailed or awesome.
-
That actually kind of sounded like Spike's voice, or any technician possibly working on the film. I like what I saw nonetheless. It's a kid's film, so I'm not expecting much, but I hope to enjoy it on purely a nostalgic level re-experiencing what I may have felt when I first read the stories, and I like the fact that it looks accurately like one of the Wild Things, and realistically interacts with the kid. I think when its finally done, I'm gonna like what I see.
-
That was cool. Carrol actually looks very much like a Janosch character.
-
much better look at this http://tinyurl.com/34rldn
-
Sure sounds like him. But it's weird, like this was recorded in a barrel or something. Are they trying to make his voice sound deeper? It's such an oddly paced scene, like this is the VERY first edit which needs to be trimmed down.
-
i imagine it might take a few moments to get into the vibe of this... and some people never will. It's more Terence Malick than Jim Henson. Interesting but not sure if this will be successful, (if that clip is anything to go by). The voice of Carrol is bad, so i hope that it's just temp. I'm still curious, open minded etc.
-
I've seen the film and I don't think that's even the kid who is in the movie. And I don't remember the kid having a tail on his costume.
-
liek everything else nowadays
-
interesting
-
..and of course I wanna see it
-
... it was weird.
-
I hope they just let Mr. Jonez do whatever he has in mind and don't listen to a bunch of knuckleheads second guessing him based on a mysterious clip we know nothing about. Looks like somebody actually trying to do something original. Remember how one time you guys were demanding some more of that? Well here it is, so be nice.
-
I love that it looks more real world, and the lonely is good
-
CGI couldn't hold this things poop.
-
Vern, agreed. At least it looks really different from anything else. Deliver a michael bay film? The geeks complain. Deliver a non-michael bay film? The geeks complain.
-
where the wild things are is about a child and his temper tantrum...what the fuck is this movie about???
-
I agree with you about this looking promising, and so far this little clip has me sold, but you can't really claim that it's original. It IS based on one of the most popular children's books of all time, after all. Although, I supposed that Hollywood's definition of 'original' is obviously quite different from the rest of the world's.
-
yet it seems moving
-
I finally got around to watching Across the Universe last night.. I really hate it. I hate it a lot. So my girlfriend and I were talking about LOVE. The Cirque du Soleil Beatles show in Las Vegas.. And how it would make a very cool movie.. It's only real plot is a love for the Fab 4 and there music... It would be a hard flick to make.. but even the worst LOVE movie would be better than that crap we watched last night. Spike Jones could make it great!....or Michael Gondry….. a live action Yellow Submarine!
-
it's Spyke Jonze so I'm sure it'll be just fine. Gondry should have done this one though, and Spike should have done Be Kind Rewind.
-
Even if it is test footage it still looks good to me. Hitting the monster with the stick? Awesome. The kid doing the robot? Also awesome. The monster sad that the kid likes robots? Again, awesome. Three points: 1. Oftentimes people here bitch way too much about way too little. It’s your right, but I’m sad for you if that short little clip has ruined your childhood. 2. That sounds nothing like Spike Jonze; Spike has a real nasal voice. It might be Sean Penn, but it’s probably just a temp voice. 3. Every time I see a post written in all caps I skip right over it. I though everyone already knew that that was fucking annoying to almost everyone.
-
Dont listen to the haters. Looks fantastic! I'm in. Love the no green screen vibe.
-
and the world is assured of its own destruction
-
And I was never a fan of the book(s). That will definitely be something to watch while under the influence of... something.
-
AICN reviewers kill themselves.
-
but not this time. That clip was AWESOME! This was one of my favorite books as a kid and by that clip alone it looks like I'll be able to enjoy it as an adult on film. <br> <br> Did I catch 'Jackass' by Beck playing at the beginning of the clip? Seriously, that cracked me up for some reason and I think the monster, the plain field (and not some CGI wonderland bullshit), and dialog were PERFECT.
-
Shot years ago--before Max was cast and before Henson Creature Shop was involved.
-
if the entire point of the story is removed (the objectification of a child's temper tantrum) then, is there a point, other than looking at nice cgi and nice cinematography? all of the monsters and the jungle are a creation of max's mind...every monster is a part of his personality...it is one of the most brilliant young children's books ever made and it is studied in both hs and univesity...but you are wowed by the kid hitting one of the monsters with a stick and by his doing the robot and the monster getting upset at that? unless that was a jab at michael bay, im none too happy....saying that, i most likely will be taking the nieces and nephews to this flick...but i wont be happy about it
-
A fantasy film with genuine heart soul, who would have thunk.
-
I remember that being one of my favorite books as a kid, but I don't remember anything about it besides that. That little clip just seems very trippy and surreal. I'm not sure who that will appeal to...adults, no...kids, probably not although maybe. If they like sponge bob and other shit cartoons, then maybe they will like this too. I had crappy taste as a little kid as well.
-
very few critics gave jumper a thumbs up...the movie is eye candy...and if you want to spend 11 bux for eye candy...more power to ya
-
Go during the day when it's four.
-
"it is one of the most brilliant young children's books ever made and it is studied in both hs and univesity" And guess what? That little clip hasn't changed that. I agree that the book is brilliant, even though your qualification of brilliant is that it is studied in "both hs and univesity" is a little hokey. I'm not "wowed" but Max hitting him with a stick, I just think that it's a cool, quirky little minute and a half clip. You do not control the direction that this movie is going in. Your options are to enjoy it for what it is or avoid it, knowing you can't handle it if things don't turn out EXACTLY as you have imagined. No matter what that book you talk so highly of is still sitting there waiting for you even if the movie turns out to be utter dog sit.
-
What the fuck did I just type "dog sit" for?
-
I don't really see how the overly Griffith Park looking location is either respectful of the book or original. And while I do like the what jonez is going for between the characters and the randomness of a child's mind (i.e. the robot) I'm not feeling any sense of wonder or imagination, which is absolutely clutch in any kind of child's fable.
-
In the balls with that stick. Made of steel my ass.
-
But agree with Vern- this could be a very original interpretation of Sendak's book.
-
manic depressants in need of Prozac. "Robots are the best..."
-
only charges $5 for a matinee of any movie.
-
I agree the wonder and imagination are important, but how can you make that judgment from such a short clip? Anyway, I'm still not convinced that this is actual completed film footage.
-
MILFs are the best. Stay of the ridlin kid.
-
I'm surprised at the negative reaction to this clip. I am really amazed by this glimpse of what this movie is going to be. I'd say there's a lot of "magic and wonder," even if it's not exactly obvious.
-
Can't tell. Anyone else remember seeing this picture?
-
This picture: http://tinyurl.com/2ee3mj
-
Tonally that clip seemed very much in keeping with Jonze's previous output and visually I definitely liked what I saw. That clip has really whet my appetite for this film.
-
the picture from Super nintendo's post above look amazing, exactly what a film based on the book should look like. But it's odd, the clip has none of that atmosphere and the monsters look much better in the pic.
-
Now, just like with Holes and Ella Enchanted, I can add another movie that I must avoid at all costs while trying to preserve my fond childhood memories.
-
It does look like it's from a different film, which is why I think that this was a test for the cgi facial movements. Or something. I'm just pretending to know what I'm talking about.
-
It's blatantly Griffith Park with the observatory in the background. No way it's that obvious in the finished picture
-
Mainly b/c the kid doesn't look like the kid from the photo posted by Nintendo (which I had seen before and looks awesome) and while the CGI face stuff appears to be done, it's also a bit out of sync with the voice. The voice not being Gandolfini might also be an indication its just test stuff (although it really DOES sound like Sean Penn). I guess we shouldn't judge the movie since it's over a year away (and may be partially reshot) but damn I just really want this to be good.
-
I love the scale of the monster and the natural setting they are both in. It's refreshing to see such a massive creature NOT done in CGI.
-
A HUGE SMILE ON MY FACE ^_^
-
Wasn't Benicio Del Toro associated with the pic at one point? That's who it sounds like to me... I am a HUGE WTWTA fan -- I've got a page from the book inked into my entire forearm -- and I LOVE all the stills that I've seen from the flick, and this footage (whatever it may be) has got me begging for more. Carol (Moishe, damn it!) looks a little stiff -- but, from what I can see, the CG looks pretty damn good -- so I'm hoping it's test/early footage. I have faith in Spike...
-
Pretty weird.
-
I really liked both the look and tone of that clip, from what other talkbackers are saying it would appear that this is test footage. I'm really interested to see this one. Plus it was shot in my home town!
-
Man, this made me miss Jim Henson so very much. You youngsters have no idea how evocative of his style this is. The only difference is that he would have had non-cgi articulated faces on the Wild Things. Yeah, Spike had problems but Henson always had a way to figure this stuff out. His large monsters, like Sweetums, were right from a child's imagination. The motion was limited but the character in the voice and face was exceptional. He'd have made this a true home run.
-
but that is not such a bad thing
-
It's very subdued. Very Spike Jonze. I like that.
-
I'LL BUY THE DVD
-
he wants.
-
put me in the best mood for some reason...
-
i like it. this i would take my kids to.
-
The Wild Things suits were constructed by the Creature Shop.
-
Animated short of the book using Maurice Sendak's original drawings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWIdkYk9fQM&feature=related
-
... because it looks awful. It looks like it was shot in a backyard. HORRIBLE CAMERAWORK, NO ART DESIGN (the world feels wrong), and the creature looks like it was designed in the 80s.
-
...except for the independently moving tail, fully articulated face, skin that does fold up in the joints, and pretty much every single aspect of the creature that makes it look like the monster from the book. Yeah, except for everything it looks just a mascot. Go kill yourself.
-
check it out! http://tinyurl.com/3d8xdm
-
When I first heard of this I assumed maybe CGI or animated. Hmmm. Gutsy.
-
but kids should like it.
-
Maurice Sendak was definately an influence for Labyrinth; he's cited in the credits as an inspiration
-
even though I've never smoked in my life.
-
Ah! No wonder I felt nostalgic for the Creature Shop watching this clip. Not Jim though. It's still early. Let's see where they go with this.
-
But I may get some to watch this movie.
-
WTWTA was certainly one of my favorite books, as a kid and I'm actually surprised it has taken this long for a film to be made. As someone mentioned on here, this should've been made by Pixar (I saw that 1983 Diseny test footage). Anyway, I thought Spike Jonez was an interesting choice, but I realized that he has not really messed with CGI and other special-effects projects like this before and so, maybe this was the wrong project for him. He is a brilliant filmmaker, but I don't think this subject is right for him. It would've been better for him to make another original film. Having said that, I was impressed with Carrol's look/special effects, but everything else...not so much. I would like to think this is just effects test footage.
-
That's not Max, nor is it the costume that he wears. Carol does not look like that in both costume and CG (which there was some in the test screening), nor was this a scene in the test screening. The only thing I could guess is that this was on old screen test with quickly thrown together actors and costumes. In the last test screening Max is older with a dirty, beat up, better fitting costume, no mittens or long tail, Carol doesn't have that long tail, and blah blah blah. Just wanted to point out/warn people that this clip in no way represents the film.
-
I don't think this will get my $$$, either at the theater or Netflix.
-
It was confirmed days ago that this is not from the film. Catch up.
-
It was confirmed days ago that this is not from the film. Catch up.
-
If the story to this movie is anything like the 3 page book it's going to be really boring.
-
Nobody's made a children's movie that looks anything like this before. I found more magic in that clip than I would find in 100 computer-generated landscapes of whatever 30-year-old techheads think a "child's imagination" looks like.
-
they'll lose interest in about 30 seconds. I hope it's good. But if he's not using the book for the spine of the story, just "inspiration"...it's going to stink. I loved Malkovitch, so we'll see when the finished product comes out. But if that's the style he's going for here, that's a bad choice.
-
if one more person (including Vern) writes "Jonez" , I'm going to punch someone.
-
It's obviously an old screen test. But... if this is what the screen test looks like... WOW! Bring on the real thing! I say let them take as much time on it as they need... nurture this baby! Perfect it! Tweak it! Love it! We can wait for it! :-)
-
make this a great and lovely movie. i wish to reserve judgement for a less rough looking and sounding clip, but i do like the natural landscape idea... real world look with magic at the edges. but, seriously, the wild things' tail needs some personality. it looks an awful lot like the mermaid tails i saw on broadway a few weeks back. it needs to be frisky! overall, i am maintaining an attitude of hope at the moment.

Why does every news headline on AICN end with an exclamation poi
by jaawworley
Seriously, even headlines phrased as a question. Come on, guys. Perhaps more distressingly, every title is in BIG FUCKING LETTERS. It may benefit those in power here to read "The Elements of Style." And what's up with the tiled King Kong background?(!)
-
this looks very cool - i cant wait to see this - hope it doesnt take too long to finish - Spike Jonze rules - he got the best performance out of Nicolas Cage ever - best of that actors career imo
-
I can tell you first hand that clip isn’t from the movie. It’s not even close to being from the movie. Once again you all got duped.
-
...by the negative reaction, only because it seems 90 to 98% of the reactions on this site seem to be negative. It grows tiring after a while. Sometimes one of you all will say something clever and I'll be amused for a moment, though lately it's boreing the shit out of me due to the predictable nature of the responses. I agree with Vern in that, this is too little to go on. We have only the source material and the directors history at present. A felling of melancholy prevails in the clip above. That's really all that made an impression on me, and I have no complaints. Again, this clip is nothing compared to what we will be getting in the future. Going back to my first thoughts here: I wish there was more variety in the talk backs.
-
Release it now! I loved that clip. The tone is perfect. Please don't let the studio strip this thing of it's originality.
-
...I think i know what your source is. If I'm correct (Did it come from another web site?) than you sir have been duped. Think: the studio cleaning up after a big spill. Though, even if you are wrong, this is nothing more than test footage.
-
If it's not even close to being from the movie then where in the hell is it from? I've said that it looks more like test footage, but who would spend all of that money on creating the monster suit and working on CGI just to fool some dorks online? Again, I'm not saying that it is actual footage from the movie, but it seems that it is connected.
-
...But Buzznet, when they yanked it, claimed it was fan made.
-
...Thats the real deal? I can see why its being dumped and shat on by the studio, if thats the tone in the finished the film. It LOOKS good, but the performances and behaviour were really awkward, and thats one monotone flat ass charismaticless kid actor. Seems all the dirt on the IMDB boards were true. Shame, I really wanted spike to nail it.
-
I know people that worked on the show and I’m not going to go any further than that. Did it come from another website, what the hell is that supposed to mean? Don’t even think about attacking my ass son.
-
If that scene is any indication of what to except in the film, it's going to be one of the worst-paced movies to grace the screen since Manos: The Hands of Fate.
-
Not exactly what I imagined. Why didn't they do this animated?!?
-
yea...sure...run with that. That works
-
Found this on FilmIck http://tinyurl.com/2qsowb Definite proof that the clip is test -footage shot in G.Park Quote: I'm now told this clip was a test shot in the summer of 2005 in Griffith Park. And that's not the final Max, but Griffin Armstorff who improvised everything you see him do here. You can read more on the site (but not much) Man, I miss Filmick - that site had actual news.
-
From what we can see here, I think Jonze's approach is very ballsy... I hope Warner will not stick its nose too far on that, asking massive reshoots and CGI body animation for the characters and so on 'cause there we have some very original piece. Sweet, nostalgic, it has this flavor of a childhood memory that Sendak's book had.
-
Thank you so much for posting that. people, rest assured the sets look close to what they do in the book it's pretty amazing...er...i hear.
-
That's cute!<p>But what the fuck is it????
-
a Where The Wild Things Are fansite a few days ago and was listed as not being genuine....that is that it wasn't ACTUALLY from the movie.
-
Chk the Official pics that have been released. The kid in the movie is older and less annoying. And his suit is much better tailored than that one is.
-
That looked pretty fucking amazing...but I understand how some could be turned off by it. However, despite whatever the outcome, I think we can all agree that a Spike Jonze helmed Where the Wild Things Are is much better than some studio approved, mass marketed watered down version. All this speculation that Jonze is being/was kicked off this project is quite frankly fucking depressing
-
they did the physical creature fx - or so i heard - and this looks like test footage - really damn good test footage if you ask me
-
Feb. 18, 2008, 1:42 a.m. CST
funny, i don't remember the titular 'wild things' being
by vaudeville villain
so damned jealous and depressed in the book. so the kid likes to get his robotic groove on? the monster mash blows. so deal with it.
-
You should try smoking some weed. It's almost shocking that you've never gotten high.
-
here's a hint...when you are claiming vaguely that you know a guy that knows a guy (you know?)...don't say, "I know people that worked on the show," when it's a MOVIE, not a SHOW.<p>just looking out for you, kiddo. there's a fine art to fallacious insinuations of Hollywood connections here in the AICN talkbacks...
-
I'm not one to "attack" anyone Mr. Frankenbastard. Generally I use this medium to inquire into the early stages of any production. I tend to avoid back and forth discussion due to the confrontational nature of most posts which, if you read a good deal of them, remind me too much of Jr High, or high school lunchtime squabbles . I was curious about your post since i came across another website (hence my question) that claimed the above clip was fan made, a claim many are skeptical of since it resembles Mr.Jonzes work. I am curious to know why one would become so aggressive following my website inquiry. Also, I'd appreciate not being called "son". Other than that, thanks for getting back to me.
-
It's gotta be a test, right? Anyway, looking forward to it still...(and robots ARE the best!)
-
crap in all honesty
-
It's pretty hard to praise or condemn something when it's this out of context. All I'll say is it's got me interested now. Oh, and about the CG... that so looks like a kid a rabbit suit, if that's the kind of hyper-reality they were going for.
-
For calling me sir. I think what set me off was the assumption (“If I'm correct (Did it come from another web site?) than you sir have been duped”) that I viewed the clip and then scoured the net for info. I don’t do that but what I did do was read the post watched the clip and knew immediately afterwards just about what everyone was chiming in on was all wrong. Also as you point out most of the time it seems like a bunch of 12-15 year olds blather nonsense on here but hey I was young once I would have done the same thing the only difference is I actually liked films when I was lad. So being in my mid 40’s that’s where the son comment comes from. Maybe I did slam into you a bit to quickly so I apologize. Now get off my lawn.
-
You called me Mr. didn't you...well thanks for that.
-
...it's alright. PS: take care out there. Some of these young rascals might throw a rock at one of your garden gnomes.
-
just being picky now...hope this film gets it right coz this was my fave book when i was a kid.
-
I really think its a great approach. Fantatic setting, a dialog with a sweet tonalitiy that just kids would usually come up with ("aw, robots are the best"), a none CGI-Narnia-esque inviroment (so freakin sick of it, and the haters would have complained anyway), fantastic camera, i even thought it was brilliant to have a normal-human voice-over for the monster. Like Gondry and Corbijn Spike is here to make a difference. To bad most of you, so called "experts", just dont have that sense for something new. You still feed on what hollyweird has to offer-and complain about it.

BadMrWonka, people that work on mivies tend to refer to them as
by JimmyJoe RedSky
its an old industry term - well, an fx industry term
-
fx guys call whatever theyre workin on "shows", BadMrWonka - at least the ones im around do
-
...Movie type individuals use SHOW instead of MOVIE. Dork. Just pick up a copy of American Cinematographer. Not that I'm saying the guy is legit or anything. Anyway, the child actors parents and film personel infighting/bitching on the IMDB is more interesting than the film that will never arrive at this stage.
-
could you speed it up a little bit edit out some of those long silent pauses. slow movie so that it will take a full 90 minutes will be one boring movie. also the lips dont match the voice in the least
-
wow, if this is the tone of the film...... count me in. ive been asking, how can they translate this short childrens book into a feature length film and i guess this is a part answer. As i recall, the Wild Things dont want max to leave........
-
... actually, there are no "sets" in the film. The entire movie is shot on natural locations, and one of the things that was so striking about it was the way it all feels like the real world and not some overproduced giant-budget "fantasy" movie. It's also all shot handheld, exactly like this clip was. I'm not guessing, either. As I said... I've seen the entire film. The reason this puzzled me so much is because there is major work being done on it, and since this wasn't in the print I saw, I was curious where it came from. It very much reflects the tone and attitude of the movie, though, and is a great indicator of what you could expect if you saw the film that exists right now.
-
Yeah, I am from the planet earth so I have heard of this book they have. What I meant was that the approach to adapting the book is completely original. And that's why so many people are scratching their heads over this clip, because they never would've imagined it being made this way. A hell of alot of fantasy kid's movies have been made and I never seen one anything like this clip. Not just in the way they do the monster but in having documentary style handheld cameras, normal settings, and weird improvisational dialogue between a kid and a huge monster. You expect Narnia and Harry Potter and shit, artificial backgrounds trying to shove atmosphere down your throat, orchestral music telling you how fantastical and wizardy it all is, bad CGI dragons flapping around shooting magic, and little boys staring up in awe with fairy dust twinkling around them. This is more like a Spike Jonze video.<p> (of course that's probaly partly because it's a test, but I do remember the test screening reviews described it as handheld and weirdly naturalistic and "indie" for a movie about monsters)
-
that was shot on a digital camera they provide at film school. That seemed like some artsy film school student trying to get cute. It's probably just me, but I have no idea what just happened to my 1:42 of my life, but I want them back.
-
and this is the LA version of it
-
But I'll still go see it. That's probably the best children's book ever. Also, I fully agree with whomever it was earlier that said Jonze should adapt the Beasties' Sabotage video into a feature length film. The video felt like a mock of a classic 70's cop drama, and the movie could be the big-screen adaptation of a non-existent 70's TV show, in the same vein as the Dukes Of Hazzard or Charlie's Angels movies... but be ridiculous on purpose and not suck.
-
...About how it looks and how it was shot. Which is weird. Thats how Spike's stuff generally looks. Check out his music videos and two features. Lots of handheld and "choppy" chunk sort of editing and not "gritty" but more naturally captured lighting (popular with Gondry and mike mills too). Looked similar to his Island In The Sun Video. My complaint, which is nullified since its an effects test, was that it was really badly and awkwardly staged with the peformances and dialouge. But the finished film is a different kid altogether and such, so, you know, there you go. To the dude who said it looked like a cheap digital camera, please tell me which one so that I can purchase it. Oh, that and it doesn't look like Australia in the clip. Americans have better sun/smog horizons.
-
...Its been known all along that it was being done with Giant Ass Puppets. It looks very similar to the two released stills aswell.
-
...Maybe this flick is a gigantic, destined-to-disaster shambles, surrounded in rumour, conjecture, vicious gossip and strange barely revealing leaks of material or this is all Spike Jonze's personal version of a Cloverfield like viral marketing campaign. Like I said, I'm only half joking.
-
It struck a chord with me! I like it! Very minimalistic scenery, music and dialouge. Kinda nice!
-
I know most people here probably want some Burtonesque nightmare, but this strikes me as a lot closer to a kid's dream than a bunch of CGI "eye candy" would. This clip is very dreamlike; it's not supposed to be a bizarre LSD trip. That said, I don't think I could stay awake in a dark theater for more than fifteen minutes of this.
-
I saw that same costume being used at Barnes & Noble last weekend.... --G And yes....they ARE raping every memory from our childhoods...

god dang guys this is a test you can see grifith observatory 44
by ampersand110
it's in the right hand corner so this is a test and not in the movie. But i have a feeling that no one is going to read this and continue to bitch about how crappy it looks.
-
Break dancing? In "Where The Wild Things Are"? Anyone else want to emotonally rape my childhood? Jonze had better be doing some serious coke to explain that fuck up.
-
this has made me love film more. Its brilliant and so heartfelt. I thought spikes last two movies were weak in story and this movie is not. Hes making an expierience, not some some shitty "Whimsical" adaptation, He actuallys does something original, not a shitty film school movie.
-
I suppose it would be sort of cool, but I'd rather wait for the final version. My ex roommate downloaded the Hulk workprint that was floating around the intertubes a few years back and I wouldn't watch it.
-
I like the pacing, finally a childrens film that does'nt pitch to ADS bratz. Jonze is going to make something truly magical and memorable, just got to wait for this to be finessed and tweaked in post/reshoots. This clip is likely a rough tester of the CGI head replacement. Looking forward to the trailer.
-
...cheers.
-
...that's all I ask from a film...
-
...until I see a completed shot. This is tremendously early in production. The entire scene could be painted over. I'm still holding out for a great Wild Things movie.
-
a la A Scanner Darkly.<p> given the highly stylised art of the original, you'd have thunk that they'd rely heavily on rotoscoping or CGI or something.<p> points for originality of vision, though.
-
i am excited to see this movie now.
-
Was that a depressed Wild Thing? He seemed like a monster that had forgotten to take his meds. "Robots ARE the best... (sigh)...there's no God."
-

that is the most awesome thing
by Lloyd Bonafide the Korean War Veteran
ive ever seen. hilarious, i cannot wait. robots are the best
-
Looks delicious.
-
Well mr smarty pants when you work on a production it is called a show. Don't try and draw me out sunshine. By saying my "claims" are made up.
-
Sorry that looked lame. I agree with the med's remark.
-
The monster is going to turn to Max and say, "Tell me about the rabbits again, Max." Max will of course, capitulate and proceed to blow Carrol's brains all over the side of the hill. Long moment of a little boy hysterically sobbing. "Why? Why HIM?!!!" Roll Credits. Brilliant.
-
You should know better. When you shoot anywhere, be it a New York street or in a sound stage it’s still called a SET. I’m not making things up I’m just saying what I know and from what I’ve heard. I never typed anything about where it was filmed I just know that clip isn’t in the movie. The only thing shocking about any of this is how long ago they started production of the movie.
-
That music sounds like something from Adaptation... anyone agree?
-
BadMrWonka I agree with your comment “fine art to fallacious insinuations of Hollywood connections” Here is my hint for you every once in a while one of us freaks might be the real thing.
-
Looks completely different from anything out there. I'm just so glad that Spike Jonze has a new movie coming out. It's been too long since Adaptation.
-
Let's wait this one out. I still have a really good feeling about this. "Wonder and Atmosphere" are not tangible nor specifically definable terms, especially not in the way it's been formulated in the past couple years. It's Spike Jonze the end result will likely have these. Let's wait it out guys. We're in for a treat.

CG just cant make it photorealisic yet
by Lloyd Bonafide the Korean War Veteran
unless you spend more time and money than anyone has. These characters have, ahem, "character" and "charm" which are *often* impossible for computers to create. GO spike!!
-
WOW amazing. Exactly what I was talking about. Pure craftmanship. Everybody must see the clip he posted.
-
thank you
-
Many kudos. I tip my hat to you, sir.
-
I just spit apple turnover out of my nose. They nailed the scene.
-
that was beautiful.
-
I mean I know everyone has a right to their opinion. Maybe it is incredible, and I'm just not getting it (it's happened before.) But WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE was one of my two favorite books as a child. And that didn't strike me as Sendak's book at all. All due respect to the other posters here (and I loved ADAPTATION) but I have to agree with Anchorite's side: that looked more like WILD THING INTERRUPTED. It just seems too bleak and dry. I'll wait till the movie comes out, but if WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE turns out to be rehab, I'm getting my money back.
-
Revenge of the Titty Lump
-
Not sure if live action is the best fit for this. The art in the book is gorgeous and that would translate better in animation.
-
sigh...my sarcasm was not coming through very well as it turns out. I work (mostly as a pretty low rung on the ladder) in the industry as well, so when I hear "show" for a project, I gave Franken more legitimacy. I was just trying to make a joke about how most of the people on AICN claiming to be a part of something, or know someone who is, are lying, and get caught in all these silly illogical or incorrect statements, or use industry jargon incorrectly. and so Franken shouldn't use CORRECT jargon CORRECTLY or he wouldn't fit in with the rest of the rabble. get it?<p>sort of like a qualified person coming to a job and doing something correctly, and then someone else saying, "oh, don't you know? we don't do that here, ha ha ha" get it?<p>anyway, it was late and poorly written. my stupid.
-
me thinks they're going to roto out the background elements and replace them with matte paintings or a 3d environment. then they'll match the foreground elements with a little color correction. looking at the way this is shot, it would be fairly easy to do since there isn't alot of movement on the subjects. the trees and bushes in the foreground would be difficult though.
-
Loved it -- and I love the direction Jonze is taking this.
-
It’s cool, no harm done and I can see where you are coming from. i don't know if i'm low on the ladder but i do know how to sculpt one. It seems most of the time when you make a comment on here about having any real knowledge on a project by being in some way connected with “the Biz”, people naturally try to trick you into spilling more info about said production. I could have gone into it deeper but I’m not stupid and I’m not going to get friends fired from projects or myself blacklisted from future projects by flapping my gums. I stand by my original statement. The film will look beautiful, as for the pacing I have no idea, I haven’t seen a work print of the thing. I can tell you this it’s going to be a nice refreshing change of pace to see a non Burtonesque spin on a movie. And yes I like Burtons work.
-
Um...yes...and no. ;)
-
but at least your asses weren't.
-
...and I think I kind of love it. The long shots are very storybooky, and the quiet way Max walks up to the wild thing at the end?...works for me... The landscape looks very natural and normal, but look at the way everything is constantly moving in the breeze...tough to do that in a shiny fancypants special effects world.
-
I really don’t know what to make of this. I agree with those of us out there that like the fact this isn’t some overly stylistic, shiny, fancy by the numbers retard kids fantasy that are being mass produced non-stop these days. I like it; it’s got some odd real world vibe that I don’t know quite what to make of. And yet, now having said all that this may seem contradictory, but I also wanted something a bit more...I don’t know, exotic? Fantastical? I don’t know, it’s kind of hard to express. I always saw WTWTA like a painting come to life. Not something ridiculous but I just, I don’t know, WTWTA seemed to me to have a slight Alice in Wonderland kind of vibe in ways. Its just that the book has a magic to it, and when it was read to me or as I read it it took me out of this world, so I guess maybe seeing my world is what’s slightly off putting about it. That doesn’t mean going that way will be bad, just not what I would have expected. I think the thing for people to remember is we have no real clue about what this footage is, what its purpose/use is, its context or whatever. So it’s hard to make an informed statement about it. Like the monster for example. I kind of like it but kind of don’t. As retarded as it may sound (I mean we're talking about giant monsters so points like realism are hard to argue) but I wanted something a little more real looking. I mean it does sort of just look like a mascot. But again, all we have is like a minute and a half of something here. So I'm not going to go flipping out and ripping shit on Spike just yet. Some projects are pure shit, and you can just tell, but this isn’t one of them. So let’s take a pill and just wait and see.
-
I think the movie has a great pedigree: Maurice Sendak is a producer (BTW-Sendak was an early member of the National Board of Advisors for the Children's Television Workshop during the development stages of the television series Sesame Street), impressive cast & crew. I have high hopes for this. As far as diverging from the book.......... The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) was very different than the novel.
-
...as this movie stills here show a different kid and he also wears a different style costume. http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/12/11/second-look-spike-jonzes-where-the-wild-things-are/
-
I'll never get the appeal of a bunch of guys in dog-suits gnawing on each other's "bones".
-
I was worried that it was just going to be another kid's film, but that has Spike Jonze all over it in a good way. Of course the studio will probably fuck it up.
-
I never read the story. I'm not familiar with it. But this thing looks creepy and reaks of... something. I don't know what, exactly. It's definetely different.
-
and it gave me chills, in a good way. i really like the vibe and the vibes. it's like watching nanalan'. very hopeful.
-
Its been repeatedly stated that this is a fucking test. Test footage. If you faggots saw the Star Wars auditions, would you complain about how sparse the sets were and ask why Han Solo was wearing flares? You fucking morons beg belief sometimes.
-
...Jonze actually wanted to do a feature of that at one stage. So maybe there IS some crossover.
-
Of course the characters look like someone in a monster costume. That is from the book- When Max comes to the island, the monster's think Max (in a wolf costume) is one of them. Also, some of the monster characters in Maurice Sendak's book have human looking faces or feet (most notably Bernard's feet). And finally since the whole episode is in Max's imagination and he thinks his wolf costume looks like a "Wild Thing" of course the Wild Things he encounters look like people in costumes. That is from the source material.
-
Man in suit !!
-
If this movie is the worst problem you'll ever have I WISH I had your problems. It isn't being made for YOU to relive your childhood, its being made for kids!....Why don't you go back to Mommy and Daddy's basement and cry under your covers and let the people who actually WANT to see something interesting and different see this movie. Grrr I'm so tired of that fucking term!
-
Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine, Being John Malcovich, the Darjeeling Limited, etc... you get the point. Show me one child who can sit down and watch the science of sleep. These movies fit a nitch or genre and do so very well, but it does not translate to commercial success or mass appeal. I was very excited to see what Jonze could do with this property, but if they don't do something to pretty up the backgrounds and make the tone a little less dull... like to say a water boil level, then they are in for a tragic failure at the box office. Lets face it, after the first weekend box office, word of mouth is going to spread to all potential families that might have gone to see this, and all that will be left to fill all those empty seats will be the little group of people who thought Eternal Sunshine should have gotten best film at the Oscars.
-
It looks much like Gummo with the raw hand held golden hour look. Bunny Boy is now a fox, and he's beating a Wild Thing with a stick instead of a dead cat. Still, I'm excited. Very few films capture the melancholy of childhood imagination these days, and I like both Jonze and Korine.
-
...very good point (about it all going on in Max's imagic-nation)...I once heard Sendak interviewed and he was talking about the fact that kids are afraid of what they know, so he based the wild things on the scary, hairy eared, nose hair sporting, bad breath, thick glasses, fat aunts and uncles who would crowd into his house for the holidays...
-
after all the viral marketing, THIS is the cloverfield monster? What a rip off!!
-
...Schindlers List? I don't know of any off the top of my head. I could probally guess at a few who liked E.T. though. I'm guessing they would do something about the backgrounds, seeings as this is a fucking TEST in CALIFORNIA and the MOOBIE was shot in AUSTRALIA. Jesus your a dumb asshole.
-
...Lyrical, whimsical and melancholy dont work, I suggest you regard Watership Down, or even the fucking Snowman cartoon. Beloved kids films that are strange, morbid, frightening and sad.
-
Where is Denise Richards and that chick from Scream?? Aren't they WILD THINGS?
-
All due love and respect for the fantastical universes that have been presented on screen in the past, but it's nice to see a kids movie that doesn't seem to think kids are a bunch of ADD addled pixie stix-addicts. Burton and his followers have done some very cool shit, and all-consuming production design and hyper-active set-pieces have their place, but I think kids could dig something a little quiter and simpler (though no less strange). Kind of reminds me of some of the weird-ass "children's entertainment" we got back in the '70's (e.g., The Little Prince) where the real world was presented as a magical place in and of itself. I wonder if those complaing about that real-world aesthetic and the "mascot costume" creatures believe Sesame Street should get with the times and switch to CGI instead of those cheap looking felt puppets.
-
when the movie flops at the box office. Get off your high and mighty indie visionary soap box and look at the reality of the situation. No child in today's world is going to want to watch this movie for more than a few minutes. Once the tone and slow speed of the movie sets in, there is going to be nothing but complaining and fidgeting in the seats. Parents aren't going to want to deal with the whining and want their money back. I want to see this, but you're the dumb asshole if you think kids will too.
-
I just came back from my job a few hours later. And I have to say this is the fifth time I've watched this thing, and I guess I'm getting the potential. I suppose the "lack" of the "whatever it is" the Bandit brought up made me feel a little lost. But I'm seeing a deeper insinuated closeness in that relationship that makes a bit of sense. However, in a way, if this test clip is in anyway indicative of the tone of the finished product, perhaps the story WILL be more for adults in that it may speak to the way we as bigguns' feel when we truly get our feelings hurt by the overwhelming honesty of little guys.
-
I guess the subtext would ultimately mean..."Awwwe... I wish was a character from ZATHURA."
-
Actually, I have no plans to see either of those two films. I was exposed to Seuss as a child, but I really just didn't care. I guess they were too dull for me. Honestly, I'd rather watch a live-action Pokemon, to be honest.
-
Some good, pragmatic points you make there, too bad you undermine them with your juvenile flame-baiting tone. Your rhetorical style aside, I'd still like to address the actual argument you make: a kids movie should actually appeal to kids. First, I think you think too little of children. Like the Hollywood moguls whose wallets you seem so concerned about keeping stuffed with cash, you underestimate childrens attention span and seem to believe that any entertainment that doesn't immediately grab their attentions and throttle them into submission isn't worth putting on the table. You're not a parent, are you. Number one, children don't stay in theatre seats no matter what's on the big screen. Doesn't matter how loud, bright, or relentlessly rapid-of-pace the movie is, that kid's going ot fidget, squirm, bounce, and otherwise demand the parent's near-constant restraint to make it through a feature in a movie theatre. Number two, kids hate vegetables. If you gave them only what they asked for, you'd be feeding them nothing but ice-cream and pixie sticks. Number three, kids fed only ice-cream and pixie sticks rarely make it to adulthood and those that do tend to wind-up sickly, narrow-minded and prone to calling complete strangers with differing opinions "dumb assholes". It ain't pretty. Still, you're right that the studios bottom-line and the film's money-making potential really should be our primary consideration and that said studio would be much wiser to play it safe and make a movie that's more in line with the market-tested, box-office affirmed formula that's worked in the past.
-
to those that question the look of this clip for not being kid-friendly, it might not be a "kids movie" at all - which would make it that much cooler - to me anyway
-
talking about giant robots again. It was only a matter of time.<p> It only a day after his birthday, but wtf: Fuck you Michael Bay.
-
...the amount of venom that can fly forward from you tools. There is a 3 minute clip that is NOT EVEN IN THE MOVIE and yet some of you are certain of the negative impact this movie will have. <br><br>For shame. Despite the fact that this movie is based on a childhood classic and coming from one of the most creative directors of our time.<br><br>Some of you are alright. Some of you are even brilliant....but on the whole, you guys are EXACTLY what Ben Affleck said in JAY & SILENT BOB. Like it or not, he had your number.
-
The same friend I have working on Watchmen had done an intitial bid for Sony Imageworks to do this with CGI. They balked at the price and so this is what you'll be getting...
-
I think Jonez has earned the benefit of the doubt. ALthough I do hope the film has a bit more atmosphere than that clip. It's a year away they have quite a long time to work some magic.
-
trailer available on apple.com/trailers and it is completely awful. I mean, really... has Shyamalan gone so far off the deep end that they can't even come up with 2 minutes worth of decent footage to sell his new movie?
-
...you can keep your Cloverfields and your 10,000 B.C.'s and your other sound-and-furys. I'll take this. And if you don't like it, stop wasting all my oxygen and shut the hell up about it.
-
you sure the voice isn't Corey Feldman..
-
and a can of Coke?
-
It's beyond embarrassing. It's inept, retarded, disastrous... The only good news is that this movie just BARELY got greenlit... if it is as bad as it looks, hopefully Shyamalan will never be given a budget to make another movie... it may be time to pull the plug on this vegetative state of a career...
-
are the ones that stung Nicolas Cage almost to death in "The Wicker Man". As far as unintentional comedies go, I think this would be a great double feature...
-
that this was a fan-made film and he took it off Buzznet because it was creating confusion.
-
....and that they can stretch out the story to fill two hours of movie unlike those bastard Dr. Seuss movies Universal crapped out.
-
Beck's "Jack-Ass" fading out at the beginning of the clip as if it's a scene transition?
-
loving it.
-
...An unintetionally funny bad movie that strives to be a modern horror flick. Like Wicker Man, its also got a great, endlessly quoatable line about Bees. Thats a strange happening. To be fair though, although, yes it looks kind of odd, it just appears to be a bad performance by Marky Mark.
-
i dunno. i enjoyed this. it did feel a little unfinished, but i like the almost apocalyptic feel it had going. sort of like a "calvin and hobbes" imagination world, as opposed to a "little mermaid" world. like this world he imagines is more real than the real world he lives in. which is kind of what the book is about anyway, and probably why i like this clip so much. anyway, that's my two cents!

-
you should have read.
-
... I can verify now: this was indeed the proof of concept that was filmed in 2005 that got the studio to commit to the film. <P>I'll say this... Spike fulfilled the promise that this clip makes with the actual film. If you like what you saw here, you'd probably like his movie, and if you don't, then you definitely won't.
-
...The look and feel and stuff, but thought the kid sucked and the dialouge and stuff was kind of awkward? Is it really sort of dazed and mumbly like that?

i thought that the kid in this video looked much younger than the kid in the link below. Costume looks different too <p> http://tinyurl.com/2ee3mj

If you hate (as you should) AvP:R then this is important: <P>That useless fucking shitrag Empire has viciously slandered us. Some cunt called Chris Hewitt has written: <P>"Directors The Brothers Strause – Colin and Greg – apparently got the gig, their first, because they’re such huge Alien and Predator fanboys. AVP:R would indicate that they’re fanboys of the Ain't It Cool talkback variety, guileless goons crowbarring in lame references (the hero is called Dallas; someone actually says ‘Get to the chopper!’) while emphasising splatter and swearing over the suspenseful slow burn."For the full review go to http://tinyurl.com/2gg66d but I'd rather you didn't give the cunts the hits.<P> If anyone remembers the recent AvP:R wars and the slaughtering we gave the foilage that turned out for it then please air your displeasure at the useless no-quality-control cockmonkeys via email. <P>In fact, fuck it, anybody who thinks this is wrong- do it, let them know. But be certain to check the AICN history of AvP:R from Mori's initial slaughter of the script to vern's review and our eventual savaging of the plant life. <P>Lying, dirty cocksuckers.
-
...The more I watch it, one thing becomes clear. Those effects are fucking great. Perfect use of CG. It looks real, because it is, and the CG doesn't set it off. I can't believe people would complain about that aspect.
-
Yes or no, I know you can't review it.
-
That's terrible.
-
I'm betting this was a test scene for proof of concept. Not something from the final film. and no, it doesn't look like the "CGI" has been added. god I hate that. It's CG, not CGI. "Computer Generated". CGI is what they called a single image, back in 1985. How about if I call this page AICNDC or something like that?
-
Maybe that's the exact plot of the inevitable Scary Movie 5 which is definitely going to be shaky cam.
-
Gotta drop the "I" if you're talking about a thing. Like CG Dragon or CG landscape.
-
that's what you should say. You shouldn't say CG or CGI in the example you just used. 3rd Grade just called and wants to dickslap you! Nyah!
-
I agree with who ever said it looked like a Terrence Malick version, which is great, and for all of you who don't get the sad air sorrounding the film , I don't see how you could have read the book which was very beautiful and sad/meloncholy throughout.
-
The Trailer for The Happening is amazing.............. because it managed to suck balls & ass-at the same time :)

I don't really get it but I love the feel of it. Count me as excited.
