The New York Times breaks down the long journy from the book scene to the big screen that Maurice Sendak’s classic Where the Wild Things Are has endured. Mentioned in the article is that the current adaption in the works, from director Spike Jonze and screenwriter Dave Eggers, will dwell more on the main character Max’s journey back home, with the “wild things” in “hot pursuit.” Furthermore, the article notes that Max’s relationship with the beasts has been given a “fresh twist,” especially with one of the monsters in particular.

As a side note, the document adds that an animated film version of Crockett Johnson’s Harold and the Purple Crayon might happen.
