”The look and feel is very naturalistic—when our creatures knock down trees, they really knock down trees,” “Where The Wild Things Are” director Spike Jonze told EW. ”When I was a boy, reading this story, I imagined myself really being there—not in front of a bluescreen.”
Jonze admits the shoot wasn’t easy and the film had been in production since 2006. “None of it was easy,” the filmmaker said noting the challenge of a film that relied a
non-professional young actor, Max Records. ”The movie rests on Max’s performance,” he said. ”It’s all about taking this 9-year-old seriously as a person.”
Happy new year, looks like publications are getting psyched for 2009 too.
