2008 - Warner Brothers announces a major delay…
If everything had gone to plan, we should have all seen Where The Wild Things Are by now, and already decided where it sits in out top ten films of all time list.
But, sadly, following fan outcry over the leaked footage and rumoured “scared kids” in test audiences, WB announced a massive 12-month delay.
Rumours got tossed around the internet that the suits planned to reshoot the film themselves, which studio chief Alan Horn was quick to deny:
“We've given him more money and, even more importantly, more time for him to work on the film.
We'd like to find a common ground that represents Spike's vision but still offers a film that really delivers for a broad-based audience.
No one wants to turn this into a bland, sanitized studio movie. This is a very special piece of material and we're just trying to get it right.”
Which didn’t sound so bad, until…
