New poster for WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

Sep 05 2009 Published by under Film

I know the book gets a lot of praise but I’ve never read it and am unlikely to.  With that said, I think the trailers for this film make it look absolutely outstanding, especially with the use of that Arcade Fire song.  Hopefully the final product will satisfy not only fans of the book but also people who go in blind.

Where the Wild Things Are is set to open on 16th October in the US and 3rd December for me here in Oz.

Teaser trailer for PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF

Jul 15 2009 Published by under Film

Here’s the teaser trailer for the upcoming adaptation of the first Percy Jackson novel.

I tried reading the book and gave up a couple of chapters into it.  It’s certainly a children’s book, but unlike the Harry Potter series of novels I really don’t think it’s written to be read by adults.  The writing style just screams children’s book.

That being said I’m a little curious to see the film because I generally enjoy the work of Chris Columbus.
