Countdown: Where The Wild Things Are
Posted by adspeert | Filed under Uncategorized
Ever since the first trailer for Where The Wild Things Are was released at the end of March, it has been highest atop my most anticipated viewing list. With a formula including Spike Jonze as Director, Dave Eggers on script-writing (partnered with Jonze), and Karen O tasked with the soundtrack, the potential for greatness is heady. Even as I write this, the furr on the back of my neck is standing up.
As the movie’s currently scheduled Oct 16th release approaches, the powers that be have stoked the fire with another trailer release just last week (watch it below). While this trailer opening didn’t give me the same chills as the first one, it did it’s job to reinforce my excitement. On another note, I also just heard that Eggers and Jonze are releasing a new extended version of the book to coincide with the movie release. The cover (below) looks pretty cool.
Below is the Arcade Fire track from the trailer(s), as well as a song by Patrick Watson titled “Where The Wild Things Are”. In light of the fact that Karen O is writing “pretty much the whole” soundtrack, it’s may be safe to assume Watson’s track won’t be featured, but it’s still a fittingly awesome song.
