‘Where the Wild Things Are’ Gets a Release Date!
Impossible though it may seem, Spike Jonze's much-delayed film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are — the current record holder for children's movie responsible for the highest number of pooed pants at test screenings — might actually be released! Our friends at ComingSoon report that it's been re-added to Warner Bros. schedule for October 16, 2009, meaning the studio still has plenty of time to change its mind. If this release date actually sticks, we'll buy you a Dr. Pepper. Wild Things a

Michelle Williams “glowing again” with Spike Jonze
A source close to the former Dawson’s Creek star told OK magazine that she’s beginning to “glow” she used to before she split from Heath Ledger last summer: “Michelle is starting to have her old glow back. It’s the Michelle we were used to seeing when she and Heath just had Matilda and they were on cloud nine. Her eyes light up again. “She’s also finally coming out of the shock of losing Heath.” A second source told the magazine that Spike seems to be making

Sad Maurice Sendak Gives His Blessing to Sad ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ Movie
In the middle of a kinda sad profile of Maurice Sendak in today's Times — the Where the Wild Things Are author discusses the recent death of his longtime partner, the heart surgery that's left him too weak to walk his dog, and his endless doubts over his own legacy — Sendak says he's thrilled with Spike Jonze's upcoming film version of Wild Things, even if Warner Bros. dislikes it. The Times says "he hates syrupy animation," so he was pleased to find out that Jonze's movie will be mostly live ac

Michelle Williams & Spike Jonze Get Cozy in L.A.
Michelle Williams and director Spike Jonze, who were recently spotted getting cozy together in Brooklyn, have taken their relationship bicoastal. The twosome shared an intimate dinner at Little Dom's in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood on Aug. 2. According to a fellow diner, Williams, 27, and Jonze, 38, started off their late-night meal sitting across from each other. "During dinner they would lean in and kiss each other over the table," the diner says. By the end of the meal, Williams had hopped

Michelle Ingrid Williams, Stand Up Straight, Young Lady!
I adore Michelle Williams. I wish her love with Spike Jonze. But … … the relationship might not be at that comfortable point for Spike to start giving Michelle suggestions on her, um, physical appearance. Because, God forbid it blows up into something awful, like: “You used to have better posture in your other relationship. Why can’t [...]

'Where The Wild Things Are' Game Coming?
Here's a weird rumor: Sarcastic Gamer reports that Brash Entertainment is making a video game version of classic children's book Where the Wild Things Are. While this is just a rumor attributed to an unnamed source, it looks a little more true than a lot of rumors, given the fact that a Where the Wild Things Are movie is in development right now. The movie, directed by Spike Jonze and written by Dave Eggers(!), is slated for a late October 2009 release. Thanks, Hollywood and video games for trashing ano

Heath Ledger’s Family Gives His Estate to Matilda
Michelle Williams looked lovely at the premiere of Wendy and Lucy at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC on Saturday night. We've enjoyed seeing her all Summer in Brooklyn with Matilda and her new relationship with Spike Jonze, but she's still honoring Heath's memory as the first donor to his scholarship fund. Elsewhere, Heath's father says that the family has decided to gift Heath's entire estate to Matilda since his Will was written before her birth and left everything to his parents and sisters. Sounds like his

Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are Given New 2009 Release Date
Time to cap the day with a few beers, the robot, and a slightly promising tidbit: Warner Bros. has finally set a (final???) release date for Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are. You know, the family film based on the children’s book that has united geeks, author Maurice Sendak, hipsters and lil’ kids in a bitter internet warz against The Man and overprotective parents. Coming Soon reports that we can all meet up and celebrate our giant WIN….over a year from now, on October 16, 20

Heath Ledger's ex-fiancee Michelle Williams 'dating Hollywood director Spike Jonze'
Seven months after the sudden death of her ex-fiance Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams appears to have found happiness again. A U.S. magazine reports the former Dawson's Creek actress, 27, has started dating film director Spike Jonze, ex-husband of Lost In Translation director Sofia Coppola. Williams and Jonze, 38, have been spotted together several times near the film-maker's £1.5million New York apartment in recent weeks.

Trailer: Synecdoche, New York
After handing off screenplays to likeminded outsiders Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) and Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine), Oscar winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman minded this dizzying exposition of an auteur’s blown-out grey matter - ego, impenetrability, mortality, and all that rot - from start to finish. Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton and Tilda Swinton. Scheduled release: October 24, 2008. Synecdoche, New York trailer (via s

Film Review: Where the Wild Things Are
After the sheer madness of his only two feature films to date, 1999's Being John Malkovich and 2002's Adaptation, it's a safe bet that Spike Jonze must have been low down on anybody's list as the ideal director for a big screen adaptation of a hit series of children's books. The first of Jonze's films revolved around a bizarre portal into the mind of an oddball character actor, puppet shows, chimpanzees and sexual frustration; the second was a film about the difficulty of writing the film itself. They were

Are you fashionable yet? While heavy-hitters Michael Kors and Oscar de la Renta show under the tents (don’t get too excited, reality TV fans, the Project Runway show—yes, a runway show about a TV show about runway shows—isn’t till Friday!), do-gooders at the Ghetto Film School (not that we don’t consider our Diane von Furstenberg jacket to be born of a profound concern for mankind …) host the school’s Public Film Screening, at which they will award scholarships to student filmmakers chosen by

Michelle Wiliams Has a New Man!
It seems that lately Michelle Williams has really been coming out of her grief stricken wood works a lot more, and her palpable grief over the lost of her child’s father, Heath Ledger is actually fading with time as promised. Michelle has been spotted quite a bit lately hanging out in sunny New York with her daughter Matilda, and looking less and less sad by the minute. In fact, dare we say she has even been smiling a little bit these days? In fact she has, and contrary to belief, the smiles aren’t for

Where Are the Wild Things?
Has Spike Jonze finally tamed his version of the Maurice Sendak children's classic, Where The Wild Thing Are, enough to accommodate the nervous game wardens who rule the Warner Bros. jungle? According to Entertainment Weekly, the movie finally has a release date: October 2009. Which should give Warner Bros. plenty of time to change its mind again, and everyone else plenty of time to wonder about whatever happened to Spike Jonze. (Quiz: How many years has it been since Jonze's last feature hit theaters? Ans

I was leaving a screening of Ghost Town tonight when I saw Maria Salas validating her parking and talking about how she had just interviewed Matt Damon yesterday to some other journalists (she said he was coy). When she was leaving I walked up behind her and asked her for a photo. She looked really stunned (I have fans! GUAU!) but posed anyway. Then I told her that I recognized her from her interview with Señor Bale on NBC. She then went on to flaunt a

Silverman and Kimmel Get Over Matt Damon
At least it looks like it. For those who might remember, Jimmy Kimmel had a thing about inviting Matt Damon to his show and then somehow, dissing him and not let him on due to being “out of time,” time and time again. His girlfriend, of 5 years, made a video, known as “I’m F—- Matt Damon.” Mysteriously, not too long after, the couple split. Over the weekend, however, Matt Damon’s rival, Jimmy Kimmel, and (ex?) girlfriend Sara Silverman, were seen holding hands on their way to a Thai Karao
