The Telegraph have uploaded a featurette on Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are, which you can perspective below.
What continues to dazzle is the approach in which Jonze lends flawlessness to something innately ludicrous. What could so simply have had the ornate visible peculiarity and self-concious surreality of the apocalyptic Dr Seuss adaptations is some-more allied to The Dark Knight’s alliance of the grave and the fantastic.
Wouldn’t it be nice, what with Where The Wild Things Are and Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr Fox entrance out this year, if it became select for indie directors to plunge in to children’s movies? That approach rsther than than the generic, tasteless transport which is mostly shovelled in to theatres (lacklustre adaptations of Charlotte’s Web, Alex Rider, etc.) we’d get…well Wes Anderson and Spike Jonze movies for kids.
What kid’s books would work well in the hands of an indie director, or only super-talented, singular visionaries? Terry Gilliam’s Artemis Fowl? Jason Reitman’s George’s Marvellous Medicine?
