WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE video game coming

No, for real. Where the Wild Things Are, Maurice Sendak's classic work of children's literature, is being turned into a video game tie-in for the upcoming Spike Jonze movie adaptation. Here's the blurb from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment:

"Where the Wild Things Are is being developed for the Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 by Amaze Entertainment, a Foundation 9 studio, and for Nintendo DS by WayForward.

"'Where the Wild Things Are is one the most beloved children's stories and we are excited to deliver an immersive interactive experience based on and inspired by the feature film from Spike Jonze,' said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. 'Through their action-filled adventure, players will team-up with the Wild Things – each with their own unique skills or special talents – learn valuable new abilities and work together to find a way to safety.'"
