Out of most of the event at Comic-con this year, I kept going back to three major developments. A Nightmare on Elm Street, now don’t get me wrong – I don’t think this reboot/remake/re-imagination was necessary, but from what I have heard from production excerpts, they seem to be doing things right.

Where the Wild Things Are, this is looking to be a best movie of the year contender, everything I want from a movie. This flick is going to touch me all over I just know it.

Records, who we saw briefly in The Brothers Bloom and stars as Max in Where the Wild Things Are, has a quote from Maurice Sendak written on his hand. “You know I really love this movie and I hope people like it, because if not they can all go straight to hell.” Beyond that Max didn’t talk much; instead he introduced three long clips from Wild Things that suggest the movie is tender, adventurous and, yeah, dark and maybe even a bit dangerous.
