'Wild Things' Tamed? Alvin Chipmunks Writer Hired To Make Tweaks? Producers & Warner Finally Comment
'Wild Things' Update: Warner Bros. Comments About Alleged 'Taming;' Inside Source Calls Production "Deeply Troubled;" 'Alvin' Scribe Hired To Tweak
The graphics are awesome...
First off, inside sources told EW that the Spike Jonze-directed "Where The Wild Things Are" production was "deeply troubled."
We've all heard that the film is allegedly "too dark for children," but 'Wild Things' producer John Carls insisted to EW that "there is nothing inappropriate for a child."
EW says "bloggers fueled the bad buzz" (see? we told you guys to calm the fuck down) and evidently "Alvin & The Chipmunks" screenwriter Jon Vitti was requested by Warners to make "significant changes" to the script.
However, Carls said the tone of the script would not change and explained, "we're inserting new moments that will make the individual 'Wild Things' story line more clear."
Warners issued a statement, "We have always believed in and continue to support this film. As with all films, post-production is an evolving process, and Spike Jonze will be shooting some additional scenes."
EW also notes that Jonze also doesn't have, GASP, final cut over the final film. Online geeks have encouraged Jonze to leak his cut over the Internet, but Carls said that won't happen. The original author of the children's book Maurice Sendak is evidently, "very pleased with what Spike has accomplised thus far."
