I look at it this way. It's one of the most well loved and well known children's books of all time. Eventually there was going to be a film. Has to be, too much money to be made off it. Whether you are excited for this, or turn your nose up at the approach or very existence of the film is immaterial. This could have been basically "Spiderwick Chronicles" only far worse, released as PG on 4th of July weekend. But it's not. It was put into the hands of Spike Jonze, and written by Dave Eggers, two people who make their own work and are committed to a different type of art. At least it lies at their feet, and has potential to be an interesting approach, and not just a box office CGI fest.
- Good point. Take the boy in a wolf suit and the monsters and create something else and make lots of money.casparclaasen
