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.
