Of all the people who have expressed an interest in adapting Where the Wild Things Are for film, filmmaker Spike Jonze is the first who has interested Maurice Sendak.  Which is one reason Jonze secured permission to go ahead with his movie, which was written by Jonze and author Dave Eggers.

Sendak's admission came during a video presentation at Comic-Con, where Warner Bros. was showing clips of the film, which releases on October 16, and stars newcomer Max Records as the young boy, Max, who wears a wolf suit "and makes mischief of one kind, and another."

Records, who took the stage in the massive Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center, said that he talked to Sendak on his birthday, and Sendak told him "I love this movie and I hope people like it, because if they don't they can go straight to hell."
