"It's been a long time coming, but Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are should
finally see the light of day in 2009 (it's been plagued by production trouble).
The adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic is said to be a combination of live-action,
CGI and animatronics. It's tough to visualize how this all will work, but Jonze is a
mega-talent so there's light at the end of this tunnel.
That is, assuming it finally reaches theaters."
