WTWTA

So, the hype for the movie of Where the Wild Things Are is beginning to lap at our ankles. We’ll try not to go overboard and keep it to the truly useful and interesting.

Clever boy Danny May from Film Victoria has posted a video of the locations used in the film. See it here.

There is also a movie trailer.

And for an informed review of the movie itself here’s Claire E. Gross, associate editor of the Horn Book. Me fears yet another case of Hollywood 1- Books 0.

Where the Wild Things Are, the movie, opens in Australia on 3 December. You can buy Maurice Sendak’s 1963 book in any good bookshop today. It has never been out of print.
