Mar 25 2009'Where the Wild Things Are' Trailer!

Will be awesome. Wait - OH NOES MAH CHILDHOOD@!!

And i thought i was a weird creature!

I'm going to watch this movie! Which hot sexy girl wants to accompany me!?

Holy SHIT! That is the best preview I have seen in forever!

awwww how cute!
*sigh*... doesn't it suck when you watch these awsome-childhood- adventure movies and realize your childhood sucked total ass? I think I'm gonna cry...

BOORRING!

anyone know the song in the background?

#7 I think it's the new Bel Biv Devoe single.

@#7 the artist is The Arcade Fire but i cannot recall the song name

FUCK YOU TRAILER ADDICT!
For being down when I want to watch this trailer

Song is "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire

@7: Wake Up by the Arcade Fire.

@Iwatchstuff: Isn't this exactly the type of trailer you would make fun of if it weren't for your fetish for this movie? In terms of indy music combined with a message of childhood nostalgia? Reminds me of the DIRTY GARAGE.

The song is Wake up by the Arcade Fire!!! SOOO GOOOOD

HD versions are up:

FOCKING WILD!!!

G/J Spike!!! :D

***WRONG***

The song is NOT Arcade Fire's - if you look at the publishing rights to Wake Up it was actually written (the lyrics) by group by the name of Squirltribe in the early 60's.

Follow my link for more information...

Holy Jebus. That's awesome.

I have poop in my pants!

yeeeeeeeeess!

Dear god in heaven you are lucky IWS writer - if this had been another Where the Wild Things Are trailer alert with no actual trailer I would have had to invest in an IWS Writer Scrotum Lamp Shade.
Your nut dermis is safe. For now.

This trailer is awesome. I got chills.

@16: Way to bring really obtuse music trivia to a fucking movie blog.

YOUR PARENT'S HATE YOU!

I swear, it's like someone made one of those fake-trailers-in-another-genre.

"What if Where the Wild Things Are was some sort of offbeat film festival darling indy movie."

wow.

@ # 16 - he asked what the song was in the background, not 'who originally partially composed the lyrics to the song in the trailer' and the answer to what the song was (ie what to search on frostwire:)

wake up by the arcade fire (however this sounds like an acoustic version of it)

what the fuck just happened
they look real and fake at the same time

I haven't read the book in a long time. I heard they got rid of the gigantic Squid at the end. Is this true? Or am I thinking of something else? This had better match the book exactly or it will fail. Or, am I thinking of something else?

Looks great, honestly.

Pure effing genius... for once i'll go watch this at the cinema instead of downloading the dvdrip.

This thing looks so good I'd happily cry like a little artsy fartsy baby if I wasn't at work. They had me at giant puppets, and I lost it when the Arcade Fire kicked in and the forest started exploding a la the Jonze directed finale of JACKASS (replacing bricks, mortar and shopping carts with leaves, trees, puppet monsters and wolf costumes). I'm smitten.

This looks really bad! I can't believe most people here are so enthused about this movie. They took a great kids book (and cartoon) and are turning it into this overblown full length movie? What a steaming pile!!

@27

you literally encompassed everything i wanted to say in your comment. i have many arsty fartsy tears in my eyes because of this trailer. i was also delight to hear the utilization of 'wake up' by the arcade fire. maurice sendak was one of my favourite authour/illustrators when i was a child and he still remains that today. i cannot wait to see this movie.. it doesn't look bad at all.

WOW i dont know what to say, this was an amazing trailer, im 23 and i have to say this movie, the trailer and the creatures captivated my heart. not since NEVERENDING STORY has a movie made me feel like magic. i am not being sarcastic in any way, today's movies (specially this type of movies for kids) are terrible, just horrible, pixar is good but they can only do so much, Disney sucks A$$.
well i really cant wait to see this , Oh i cant wait
Joy!!!

Anyone else recognize the voice from the beginning, saying, "I've got to show you something"...it's James Gandolfini from The Sopranos! So we are combining Tony Soprano, Arcade Fire, and Spike Jonze....they couldn't have fit more of my favorite things into it if they tried.

@16....You are wrong.

THEY GOT IT RIGHT!

I cant wait to see it.

The music ruined this trailer for me.

I predict when this finally comes out you will all trip over each other as you race to trash it. Just like Watchmen. Heed my words.

@ 21, 23, 31

This one time, at band camp, you all did a trian of Rusty Trombones. I remember when each of your parents wrote me and told me you were fags that didn't know how to do a simple web search and look up a fact. Then I fucked your mothers and shot my load in a cup for your dad's to sip out of. Oh, and they did. Gargled that shit. Then ate a shit sandwich. Full of shit. On a shit submarine. Under water in a certian creek that most people are up without a paddle.

You get the point. You're a fag.

Beatty's retort to being wrong: youre a fag shit poop hhuhuhuhuhuh durrrrrrrrr

anyways a shiny new donkey to whoever posts a link to the mp3 of the version of wake up used in the trailer..

@35

I remember when you quoted a teen movie from 11 years ago. over a decade, guy!

also, dear spike jonze, thankyou for being spike jonze

I have to say I am super pumped about this movie from viewing the stills and the poster but this trailer is pretty awful in my opinion. Its just way too fluffy, no pun intended.

It looks like the marketing is trying way too hard to sap up Spikes slightly dark vision with all the emo they can grab from the editing room.

Then they go and match up Arcade fire's abrupt key change finger snappy part with scenes of mortal danger clumsily mixed in the occasional coy glance? I'm all for juxtaposition but it just doesn't work at all and seems downright corny.

this is gonna be legen ... wait for it ... dary!

ITS WAKE UP BY ARCADE FIRE

AAAAAAHHH!!! DO WANT

arcade fire song is perfect for this too

Hey Beatty, I think it's funny for someone who throws the word FAG around like its rice at a wedding, to have the name in the corner of your comment box link me to the site called gay.com. I know you probably have set this up so that after you spew your storm of bull shit on the rest of us, you have a quick link to watch all the gay porn the internet has to offer. And I'm sure your cover for this homosexual indulgence, is to clam that you are 'Being Ironic' or 'Giving those web Homo's what they want to see', but I'm on to you Bertty. So go ahead and call me a small dicked fagot or talk about how I live in my parents basement with my expansive Star Wars collection. Whatever you say to me or anyone else you are still a major turd who's only means of self education is a FUCKING Google search.
On another note this trailer gave me an erection.

@42

*yawwwwn*

Good one.

Cold War Kids are way better than Operation Iraqi Freedom Kids.

YES YES YESITY YES YES!

I hope it's not British. It feels British...especially with that crappy music.

Oh HAY-ell yes!!! I love this book (maybe a little too much for a 27-year-old, whatever). This is going to trump the mural on the wall of Thundercloud Subs in Austin like NOBODY'S business!
~a

THis is simply amazing! I am blown away, and can only say that I want to see MORE!!

@42

your erection just deflowered my childhood.

Not bad. Almost as good as "A Fistul of Billy Ray Cyrus".

Almost.

It's like christmas without sucky presents....i

I JUST CAME!!!!!!!

IN CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THAT SONG IS SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

somehow the monsters that look at times like people in monster costumes are okay with me... I'd rather see that than computer animated green-screen nonsense, seems more "real". And I like that there's an added backstory even... a little creative license won't kill ya.

wow, way to take narnia and multiply its already outstanding level on the creepy scale by infinite

Oh man. Can't wait. Spike Jonze got a lot of pressure to make this film great.

Imagine a Hayai Miyazaki adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are. It'd be Totoro-digivolved = awesome.

@16
i found my soul mate

Hmmm. I'm not at all into the trailer. I liked the look of it all, though. Spike Jonze is talented.

looks like the nightmares i had when i was younger :| gives me the creeps
not watching this alone xD got the same feeling from another movie: the dark crystal. I don't know why, they just bump my imagination levels i think xD

Holy shat I'm going to watch this so hard, it looks amazing, especially with arcade fire music

:)

YES!

where can I get an adult version of the kids costume?
I want to where it to the movie + Halloween
also - who ever decided to put Arcade Fire in the trailer is a freaking genius!

Oct..... Awwwww thats forever away!

@ 52...
While skimming through the comments I came across yours and at first glance it read as "It's like christmas without sucky parents..." .

I feel that both of us are right.

#25

Oh I see what you did there.

trailer looks rad but it seems like the movie will suck...? anyone?

#66

Okay.

LOOKS FREAKIN AWESOME!! MY FAVORITE BOOK FROM CHILDHOOD!

anyone who likes this, see

and swoon :-)

Oh I see what you did there. Okay

I think nostalgia has gone a little too far with these old books and shows. Pick up this book and read it again and you'll realize that it's actually really crappy. For some reason though, we immediately tie everything from our childhood into something that is good. Reminds me of Will Ferrel's remake of Land of the Lost which was actually a crappy show back in the day.
