Where the Wild Things Aren’t

It seems Spike Jonze’s adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” has come to a screeching halt.

The script got good early reviews. But for months the Web has been pulsing with rumors and in-depth accounts that when Jonze had a research screening last December, kids in the audience were crying and fleeing the theater–not exactly the reaction the studio had hoped for.

Mmmm. Cult classic. Now I really wanna see it. Before it’s “fixed”. YouTube leaks, anyone?
