This bit of information comes to me from a most unusual place, my neighborhood newsletter. For those of us just joining the conversation, WTWTA has been on the docket of at least one studio for something like the last 20 years – and never being able to get made. Well long story short – working with the Sendak family, Spike Jonez has the “go ahead” to make this children’s classic into a live action movie.
I have a neighbor who’s daughter is married the Director of Photography, Lance Acord (Lost in Translation, Marie Attionette) for WTWTA. Ok sorry for the long build up, but the story is that the principle photography has been finished in Australia with release early next year.
