Was it in your brain for a long time that you wanted to make it into a film?
No, because it was one of those things that I loved but I wouldn’t have wanted to touch. I didn’t know what I could add to it that wouldn’t ruin it. But I’ve gotten to know Maurice Sendak over the last 14 years and talked to him about it occasionally. He would ask me if I would want to do it and I would contemplate it and try to think of—Hold on, hold on. So he asked you if you wanted to do it?
It was something he was developing into a movie for the last 20 years.
Beyond excited for this movie. Check out the full interview.
I’m really excited for this movie. So far, the trailer has made me feel the way the book made me feel.
Agreed, the trailers so far have given me total confidence in this project.
“Beyond excited” second that
People get excited for weird ass movies. This movie looks absolutely horrifying. Those big fuzzy things are some of the scariest things ive ever seen.
And if your beyond excited, that means your NOT excited:)
I’ve been waiting to see this movie for over a year now.
TomA – Thank God I’m not the only one who thinks this movie looks awful.
This is one of those movies I don’t know if I can see because it was such a big part of my and so many other people’s childhood. I’m scared…
I loved the book as a child and still have my copy, tattered and worn as it is. Really looking forward to seeing how they manage to stretch the story out to movie length!
