Where The Wild Things Are Movie

In the Where the Wild Things Are Movie, a young boy named Max, is angry after being sent to his room by his mom without any supper. He uses his imagination to create a forest inhabited by many wild monsters and scary things, who crown him their ruler. Misunderstood and rebellious, Max has sailed to the land of the Wild Things, where mischief reigns.

The movie is an adaptation of the classic Maurice Sendak picture book and combines live action and CGI animation. The puppets were created by Jim Henson’s Creature Workshop.

Produced by Tom Hanks and directed by Spike Jonze. Starring Catherine Keener as the mother and James Gandolfini, Angus Sampson, Benicio Del Toro and Forest Whitaker as the Wild Things.

The adventure film uses a unique process to bring the story to life, incorporating the most dynamic elements of voice performance, live-action puppetry and computer animation.

The Where The Wild Things Are movie has the strong support of original author Maurice Sendak, who said, “I am in love with it. If Spike Jonze did not do this movie now, I would just as soon not see any version of it ever get made.”

Catherine keener said, “I’m working with Spike Jonze again. He’s doing ‘Where the Wild Things Are’. We’re shooting in New Zealand. I’m playing the mom looking for Max. Then there will be six actors or so performing the roles of the monsters, the wild things. And Jim Henson’s company is making the puppets.”
