“Where the Wild Things Are” hits the big screen on October 16th!
This was one of my favorite books growing up. Apparently the film has been jumping through hoops for a few years to finally get released… some of those hoops being negative reviews. Some kids were “crying and fleeing from the theater” one review said. Sounds pretty dark. I guess that’s what we should expect from a guy who produced “Being John Malkovich”.
I wonder if anyone will ever get “The BFG” up on the big screen. Or how about “The Giving Tree“?
What childrens book would YOU like to see in the movies?
{ update } it looks like The BFG did hit the big screen in 1989… thanks @sterbenz

I LOVE THIS BOOK! Maurice Sendak is one of my fav authors. My kids would for me read this to them-especially Nick…I can’t wait for the movie to come out. This is def a must see.
You took mine… The giving tree.
The Boxcar Children….I loved that series!!
Yeah, I’m really looking forward to Where The Wild Things Are. I almost was going to abbreviate it to just “Wild Things” until I realized that is a different movie entirely. 😛
Giving Tree was always awesome. Not sure if it would make a good big-screen adaptation. I was always a fan of the Steven Kellog books too as a kid.
I can’t remember “The Boxcar Children”. I don’t think I ever saw one of those books.
Brad… you sinner.
I think that “The Giving Tree” could translate to the big screen. I’ve seen some crazier ideas up there.
