    I've heard that the screenwriter Dave Eggers (Pulitzer finalist, btw) has written a novelized version of the original story to be released alongside the film, and that accounts for all the additional material beyond the original story. It sounds like he's tried to look at the concept from the perspective of 'what would make a boy this age so angry, and retreat into so vivid an imaginary world.' They were looking for a very real-world situation for the character of Max. Sounds exciting.
