Go Sweetums

Catherine Keener has let slip that Spike Jonze' Where the Wild Things Are is about to head into production - she's to play Max's mother. What's more, she's confirmed that the Wild Things themselves are to be puppets built by the Henson folk. This is, for me, a dream come true - and friends who watched the Muppet Show Season 1 DVDs with me recently will most likely recall me greeting Sweetums with an excited cry of "THAT is how Jonze should do the Wild Things!"

I think Jonze is going to do a good job. I think Garth Jennings may have been a slightly better choice, but Jonze I can go with.
