Spike Jonze's WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE Movie Pictures

Check out some pictures from Spike Jonze's WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE that were released on USA Today.

After posting the poster a few days ago, it's really exciting to get a look at some images from the movie. In most of them we see the main character Max (played by Max Records) along with the creature, Carol (voiced by James Gandolfini). We also get a first look at Catherine Keener as Max's mom.

Where the Wild Things Are is based on Maurice Sendak's classic children's story about a young boy named Max who, after being sent to bed without supper, imagines a mysterious, wild forest in his bedroom. There he encounters mythical creatures, the wild things.

Where the Wild Things Are comes out to theaters on October 16, 2009. I don't know about you, but I'm excited.
