The Story Behind Where The Wild Things Are

And its ten year journey to the big screen...

2008 – Howard Berger is mean about the project...

In November, Howard Berger revealed that he was approached several times to work on the project, but:

“The direction that they were taking in the movie was certainly not the direction that I would have taken. It was potentially a catastrophe. I had a sinking feeling about it. I didn't want to get myself in it. It's a horrible idea.”

Which made every single Wild Things fan shudder in terror. We’d got a bad feeling from the test footage, the test audience reactions seemed to confirm our fears, and now even Howard Berger, the nicest man in SFX, was slagging it off?

Had Spike refashioned glorious Wild Things into terrible turkeys?
