Spike Jonez on the leaked Where The Wild Things Are clip

For those of you who saw the footage we had a couple days ago and found yourselves worried this might be a bust of a movie, Spike Jonez wants to put you at ease.

From Spike (via Warner):

"That was a very early test with the sole purpose of just getting some footage to Ben our vfx (visual effects) supervisor to see if our vfx plan for the faces would work.

The clip doesn’t look or feel anything like the movie, the Wild Thing suit is a very early cringy prototype, and the boy is a friend of ours Griffin who we had used in a Yeah Yeah Yeahs video we shot a few weeks before.

We love him, but he is not in the actually film...Oh and that is not a wolf suit, its a lamb suit we bought on the internet. Talk to you later."

If anyone can make a good movie out of Where The Wild Things Are, it's Spike Jonez. Hopefully, we'll get a trailer soon.
