Anyone remember the children's book Where the Wild things Are by Maurice Sendak? This 1963 novel was by far my most favorite book when I was a child. I remember being scared yet intrigued by the characters in the book. If you don't recall, the story is about a little boy named Max who gets into a bit of trouble so he is sent to his room without supper. Max seems Max dreams about being whisked away off to a magical world wearing his distinctive wolf suit costume. Along the way he meets a number of fantastical creatures living in a forest. Max becomes the leader of the group of ferocious looking monsters. The movie is being directed by acclaimed music video director Spike Jonze. It stars newcomer Max Records, Catherine Keener, Mark Ruffalo and Lauren Ambrose and is voiced by James Gandolfini, Catherine O'Hara, and Forest Whitaker.  Check out the updated trailer for the movie.
