Hey Paul

You mentioned something about Demetri Martin’s blog in this segment (I think it was this segment?) Anyway I can’t seem to find it (on the first page of Google results) so can you link it please?

Damned impressive visuals! Was there any mention of a release date?

considering the amount of adult content in a lot of “childrens” movies these day i find it stupid that they would scrap it, surely you would just put a older age group to it and market it tot those who remember the what the wild things truly are.

meh there all twats anyway lets just hope they get it right

i’m just worried because while he had it finished early last year (or perhaps even late 2007) the studios freaked out when children found it unsettling and for a while were threatening to scrap the whole thing and start afresh with a new director. it’s great that it’s finally happening now, but i wonder what concessions he may have had to make…

I don’t think he will fuck it up. The source material is vague enough and amorphous enough to allow for reinterpretation, and given how long he has spent crafting and nurturing what clearly means a great deal to him, we should be in good hands.

Should.

Even if he does fuck it up, it looks like we can still watch it for the magnificent visuals.
