Eggers and Jonze - a match made in heaven

Open up the inbox and my day has been made by the following news


A 'children’s film' with more promise is an adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are, based on the marvelous allegory by Maurice Sendak. The story of Max, who favours an hirsute wolf-fur jump suit, escaping from supper-less bedroom exile to an orgy of wild animals will be brought to life by Spike Jonze, based on a collaborative script by Jonze and novelist Dave Eggers (McSweeny’s honcho, and A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius scribe). While there have been snarky mumblings from grown-ups about Narnia blowing its universally beloved source material, Maurice Sendak is said to be smitten with Jonze’s take on the story.

The girls love this book and I'm sure that 4 in particular indentifies with Max, little wild thing that she is.
