Nice. Spike Jonze’s skateboard company, Girl Skateboards have provided the first real look at the monsters of his upcoming “Where The Wild Thing Are” adaptation. Sure, four or five images have already leaked, but this is the first real and true look at their faces and expressions and they tell so much. They’re pretty creepy and scary, so maybe this is why kids were reportedly freaked out the notorious early 2008 test screenings? No matter. They look fantastic and Jonze and co. look like they’re on track with the look, tone, feel and aesethetics of the film. We’re not ones to salivate and pant, but we’re almost there. We’re excited.
Kudos to /Film for digging. One must note though, the first glimpses of Alex the goat were actually revealed through Jonze’s sneaker line in August.
Just when I think I can’t get any more excited about WTWTA…
guys, you need to do something about the amount of posts per page on this blog, or something… with all of the embedded videos (some that start playing automatically!) the site takes forever to load, and consistently crashes both IE and firefox!
maybe keep videos for “after the jump” or something? just a suggestion…
is it just me? happens on my work machine and at home..
yeah, we do need after the jump. i’ve been trying to find the right code for blogger that doesn’t fuck up, but with little success so far. if you have any tips, please send. I tried a few and either they fucked up or never worked so i gave up on it.
Incredible. I am trying hard to stay calm, but I just got butterflies from that.
We’re glad we’re not the only ones that feel that way.
this is great, I love the look and melancholic feeling they show.
This film seems to be going on the right track, I hope the kid can deliver.
Love. 3rd one looks like the dragon from The Neverending Story.
nice skins… didn’t like the shoes though…
