Directed by Spike Jonze :D
Yeah, it's a live-action adaptation of the children's book (one of my favorites when I was a kid).
I'm actually pretty excited to see this even if it is a kid's film, it kind of makes me think of My Neighbor Totoro in a way.... kind of.
Also, Arcade Fire song in the trailer... awesome.
Word is though, the makers had to re-shoot and edit very tediously due to the first cut being too creepy for the target audience. I want to watch that version.
