Sendak comes to life.

If you grew up with Maurice Sendak’s world of monsters, you’ll appreciate this trailer originally via MLx. It’s apparently an older test clip from the upcoming Spike Jonze adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are. Even though you can tell by the way the audio is dubbed that it’s not final, there’s a nice vibe in the scene which I hope continues throughout the film. Much as I dig a Pan’s Labrynthe/Harry Potter CGI fest, the live action fable look is a nice change, almost like what Tim Burton goes for.

UPDATE: Well, as fast as it became a viral, it became an anti-viral because this clip is almost nowhere to be found now; maybe try here. Spike Jonze has also issued a response in regards to the leaked clip.
