BEING JOHN MALKOVICH is one the most stunning achievements of cinema and on the absolute best of the 90s. People give a lot of that credit to Charlie Kaufman but his original script didn't have the same resonance of the final film. I totally agree, Mori, this has the potential to be AMAZING... ask Spike if killing Harry actually WILL get the movie released one day earlier. If so, start sharpening the machete...

Speaking of children's lit based movies, I wouldn't mind seeing a really well done version of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, true to the original stories. To hell with the Disney versions and the made for TV BS.

Get a good FX house, a talented cast and someone thats willing to write the screenplay true to the stories and they'd have my nine bucks.

Now, I'm suggesting it be an all-ages film and not some warped adult version, but surely they can make movies like Narnia, The Jungle Book, Oz, 20 Thousand Leagues, etc., like a living picture book straight out of someone's imagination. No more of this realism stuff!

I've always wanted to see Rip Van Winkle done really well - that is a creepy story! Maybe a collection of fairy tales told by Gilliam with themes that build on one another.

Wooden performance from Max...
by schnipple
Jun 25th, 2007
01:18:53 AM
I think Spike Jonze is one of the best new auteurs out of Hollywood if not the most original but there's a flame war going on in the imdb board for this movie. Crew members from the production are leaking stories about why this film has been moved from a tent pole summer pic into the october dead zone because the kid who plays Max delivered a wooden performance. Supposedly, Jonze is trying to save the film but is facing less and less studio support like scale backs on post and cgi. I hope this shit isn't true. This is one of my favorite children's books and Jonze has the perfect sensibility as a director to create something special. I will be so pissed if this film comes off as flat because TPTB allowed themselves to get stuck with a talentless kid without experience. Someone said Jonze really liked the kids look and audition and thought he could draw out a good performance. One word, hubris....

by BadMrWonka
Jun 25th, 2007
01:43:54 AM
1. wikipedia lists James Gandolfini as a cast member? if that is happening, can we get some info? if not, who the FUCK changed their mind about him. Gandolfini as the voice of one of the monsters, PROVIDED he didn't do a thick new jersey accent, would be amazing.

2. imdb lists Paul Dano as the voice of Alexander...who the hell is that? they better not bring too many kids into this...

3. has anyone here seen any of the operatic performances of this, or know anything about them? I'm assuming that they might have looked at those as the basis for stretching it into a normal 80 minute 3-act. the operas were WAY long, and even with the musical numbers stretching it out, I'm sure they aded shit. and those were co-written by Sendak.

4. Knocked up has like $110 million now. where's the guy that 2 weeks ago was telling me it wasn't a blockbuster and would barely break even? 5. Spike Jonze is my second choice for dream director of this, only second to Michael Gondry...

also, not to start an AICN conspiracy, buuuuut....

I was pretty drunk the other night, but I could have sworn there was an article posted, that had 3 reviews for, I want to say, Die Hard...and the 2nd of the 3 was really homophobic, lots of references to the "faeries" that wouldn't like it, etc...

and then today, *poof* it's gone? and there's an article with only 2 reviews. but there are NO references to the missing on in the Tb, and no one clamoring (as they obviously would) for an explanation or wanting to taunt AICN (as they OBVIOUSLY would, given the chance) for posting, then removing the offending review.

He acts up, gets sent to his room, imagines that he goes to an island in a boat, becomes king of monsters, parties, smells dinner, goes back home. I'm having trouble seeing this as anything but a short. He could have made a really cool short, but I'm worried that there will be a good 7 minute short padded out by 83 minutes of childhood-raping additions. Spike Jonez being involved and that photo makes me a little less scared.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the magnificently hilarious review of Transformers by LamborghiniCountacheStill#1? That one insisted Transformers was for REAL MEN and not for cunts or fairies. Maybe that's the one you're thinking of.

Also, I'm cautiously looking forward to this one. I remember liking the book when I was a kid, and I love Spike Jonze. I'm not sure about these directors doing kiddy films, though. I read that Wes Anderson is doing The Fantastic Mr Fox next, which seems like a similarly odd choice.

Harold and the Purple Crayon
by jeffrex007

06:58:34 AM
Years before "Malkovich" Spike Jonze was supposed to direct a live-action adaptation of the childrens book "Harold and the Purple Crayon," and actually began some pre-production work before the whole thing went into turn-around. Looks like he's finally getting his childrens-lit itch scratched. As for "Harold" i think Michel Gondry would do a great version.
The Opera
by Anna Valerious
Jun 25th, 2007
07:36:04 AM
I believe years ago in Chicago (I think this was in the '90s), an opera based on this book was produced with full bodied puppets. I don't think that they would've lived up to Henson quality, but they did look very much like Sendak's art. Also, if you like that, see "Nutcracker: The Motion Picture". They took the Pacific Northwest Ballet's version (Which is based on the Sendak book) and made it into a film in the '80s.
Wow, now THATS how to treat a children's property

I'll confess: I'm a total Sendak nut and the idea of Spike Jonze making this is just sublime. And Anna: that Sendak version of the Nutcracker is abolsutely amazing. I'm 27 and I still watch it every year at Christmas.

I used to love this book called "East of the Sun. West of the Moon." I believe Don Bluth was trying to get it made way back in the NIMH days. That would be a good one to adapt for sure. I also used to read this really freaky one about someone being stalked by some weird creature in a cabin in the woods. Don't know how to spell it exactly, but you pronounce it "Tail-Eee-Poe." Interested to hear if anyone read it. Also been waiting for years for "The Cricket in Times Square." Was always surprised Disney didn't pick it up. I picture it done w/ Chomet's animation though. Would rock.

Being an aspiring children's book writer, I am all about the Bill Peet. If you all haven't read any of his books, they're phenomenal...he used to be a Disney illustrator and his drawings and stories are even better than the classic Disney tales. The Whingdingdilly is among his best, and Kermit the Hermit too. Oh, and the one about the caboose was "The Caboose Who Got Loose", and "The Wump World" is an even better environmental cautionary tale than the Lorax.

Never read that one. I'll need to check it out pronto. Can't wait until I've got kids of my own to buy these books for. Modern children's books just aren't as well written and illustrated as they where when I was a little kid. They feel sterile and unimaginative. You know what was also a great book? "Mike Mulligan and his Steamshovel." It's 60 years old now, but the artwork was very retro and cool. That same artist (Virginia Lee Burton) also made "Katy and the Big Snow." And while I'm busy waxing nostalgic, "Make way for Ducklings" and "Blueberrys for Sale" by Robert McClosky were terrific as well.

I read the standard kids, stuff, Seaseme Street's "The Monster at the end of this book" of course Where the Wild Things Are, lots of dr. suess, but then I started reading the hardy boys and Jules Verne, read Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn like every summer, The Hobbit (although never got into the LOTR until college when the movies were just starting to prep up, about Christmas of '99). However there was one series of books I remember reading as a little kid, don't remember th ename but it had to do with a city full of animals and how one had a different problem in each book, like the elphent grocer couldn't stop eating, The Zebra was ashamed of his stripes, etc. Weird stuff

Yeah, you've got it finky. "Riki-Tiki-Tembo..." was just his nickname. "Riki-Tiki-Tembo-No Sa Rembo-Chari Bari Ruchi-Pip Peri Pembo" was his entire name...so when he falls down the well, the kid that was with him/saw it happen has to run around telling everyone that: "Riki-Tiki-Tembo-No Sa Rembo-Chari Bari Ruchi-Pip Peri Pembo...has fallen down the well!!" And, you basically just hear that name over-and-over-and-over again... Not much to it...But, still brings back memories, tho!!!

Rikki Tikki Tembo was about two Chinese boys, the oldest (R-T-T) and the youngest (Chang). RTT falls down a well and (I think it was Chang at first) tries to tell people that his brother fell down the well but his name is too long and it takes too long to tell people who is in the well. If I remember correctly, other people try and get help and they run into the same problem and so poor RTT is stuck in the well and either doesn't get out alive or when he does he never fully recovers. That's just what I remember reading as a kid, but there's a wiki on it that says something to the same effect over at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T ikki_Tikki_Tembo

Rikki Tikki Tembo was about two Chinese boys, the oldest (R-T-T) and the youngest (Chang). RTT falls down a well and (I think it was Chang at first) tries to tell people that his brother fell down the well but his name is too long and it takes too long to tell people who is in the well. If I remember correctly, other people try and get help and they run into the same problem and so poor RTT is stuck in the well and either doesn't get out alive or when he does he never fully recovers. That's just what I remember reading as a kid, but there's a wiki on it that says something to the same effect over at http://tinyurl.com/3692j3

5 Chinese Brothers ftw!

Think of all the money they'll save not having to CGI Jackie Chan's gigantic head when he swallows the ocean.

Shia Lebouf has already been cast as 'fish boy'

Didn't the guy that swallowed the ocean get the death penalty for accidentally drowning one or two people?

I saw a clip of a WILD THING still with some of his dialog from 21 GRAMS playing over it as a test. Bizarre.

Of course, that was back in 2005. I hope Del Toro is still involved. His voice as a WILD THING would be out of this world.

Oh, and of course Dave Eggers did the screenplay

give their kids such short names (I'm not joking). The one with the long name falls down the well and almost drowns because his brother Chang has to run back out of breath and then pronounce his long, honorable name.
