Behind the Things

Nine Seconds With Spike Jonze and His Digital Wild Things Chicken

spikechicken.jpgFrom the beer-soaked couches of Silver Lake hipster dives, to the Great Furry Happenings of New Mexico’s finest fetish ranches, to the oak-walled children’s playrooms on Manhattan’s tony Upper East Side, not a corner of this great land of ours was left untouched by the Arcade Fire-scored trailer for Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are . As the director dabs the final touches onto his magic-hour-drenched love letter to the wonders and perils of childhood, virtually no emergent detail is too small not to pass along to you, the Wild Things-curious readers.

Feast, then, upon this nine-second mini-documentary — helmed by director Mark Romanek and linked to in his Twitter feed — of Jonze making crucial decisions regarding the left eye of his Wild Thingian Bald Chicken Beast.

The film opens October 16th.
