The first poster has debuted for the upcoming Where the Wild Things Are. Directed by Spike Jonze, the film is an adaptation of the popular children’s book. The book is about the imaginary adventures of a young boy named Max, who is punished for “making mischief” by being sent to his room without supper. Max wears a distinctive wolf suit during his adventures and encounters various mythical creatures, the wild things. Although just ten sentences long, the book is generally regarded as a classic of American illustrated children’s literature. Continue reading to see the full poster for Where the Wild Things Are.
Where the Wild Things Are will arrive in theaters October 16, 2009. The film stars Forest Whitaker, Catherine Keener, and James Gandolfini. Spike Jonze has previously directed the Nicolas Cage movie Adaptation as well as Being John Malkovich.

Awesome! I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t remember reading this book as a kid. I’m definitly going to watch this one when it comes out. Now I have to figure out how to pass the time until October.
oh my goodness, this is going to be awesome! I really hope that jonze’s unique vision will be evident in this film, and that it will be as mind blowing as i want it to be.
i love the story and from the pictures i’ve seen i’m so excited for this! now my fingers are crossed for a film adaptation of the giving tree!
Haha. The Giving Tree would be awesome as a movie! As for this.. I won’t expect too much, but can’t wait to watch a favorite childhood book on the big screen.
I think this poster is great! I like how they cropped the head off of the monster to add to the mystery. My only question is how the film will turn out. The book was only 10 sentences long so I look forward to seeing how Spike Jonze can adapt this into a full length film. I have faith in Jonze because Adaptation and Being John Malkovich were brilliant movies.
