00:10Sono Max
00:14Carica!
00:30Carica!
00:35At the core of the entire experience of my partnership with Maurice.
00:40I've been friends with him for 12 or 13 years now.
00:42And talked to him a few times about doing a movie of Where the Wild Things Are.
00:45And I loved the book and always loved the book and always have loved his stuff since I was a
00:49kid.
00:49Wild Things was my first big, big book, full-color and text being mine.
00:58And there was a big risk because as it was being done, people at the house already were shaking their
01:05heads.
01:06Like they're doing with you now.
01:08Yeah.
01:08Qui è tutto tu. Sei il padrone di questo mondo.
01:11Oh, a parte quel buco, quel buco è di Aira.
01:14Sono Aira.
01:15Io faccio buchi negli alberi, li hai visti forse.
01:18They would be wild things in every conceivable way.
01:22They would be destructive and playful, but also sort of emotional and wild.
01:29Oh, bene.
01:32Maurice Sendak gave kids a lot of credit in a lot of his books because they...
01:35They really are kind of scary, his books.
01:40I mean, think about this, this kid fearlessly sailing off and finding this wild island
01:45and having the courage to command them and tell them that he'll be their king.
01:52Now you're the king.
01:54And you'll be a great king.
01:56This is the set that right now is the campsite.
01:59It will be transformed into many different things.
02:02The fort building, caves, workshop, whatever.
02:06We'll just move the props around.
02:07And over there there's a wall of sets and locations to sort of give you an idea of where we're
02:12shooting.
02:13You're the king.
02:15Look at me.
02:16I'm big.
02:18How do you do two like us to worry about something like the sun?
02:23It will never happen.
02:24You can't deny that it was a good idea.
02:26Max Records.
02:29Max Records was Max.
02:30We were looking all over the place for Max.
02:33Spike had seen, I don't know, probably not everyone, but pretty close to.
02:37They did like a five continent search for this kid.
02:42And they found this kid named Max Records up in Portland.
02:45I am Max Records, age nine.
02:47How would you describe your relationship with Spike?
02:49Pretty much like a second father that I only see twice a year.
02:57I wanted it to be like an action movie starring a nine year old.
03:01I wanted Max to be like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible or one of those kind of movies.
03:05So much of the movie has this physical mayhem to it.
03:08Like Max and the wild things, you know, having dirt clod fights or rampaging in the forest.
03:14That's perfect!
03:15There's this one scene that was really fun where I'm running through the forest.
03:19It's like practically a minefield because all these dirt clods are being thrown and they're just exploding against the ground
03:27and stuff.
03:27And what they had actually done is they had put in a bunch of little explosives hidden in leaves.
03:32And I have to run through this minefield when all around me it's just boom, boom, boom, boom.
03:43What flows through the whole thing is such a strange feeling.
03:47I've never seen a movie that looked or felt like this.
03:50And it's his personal this.
03:53I mean, he's not afraid of himself.
03:54What have you eaten?
03:56Sassi.
03:57Sassi.
03:58Beh, this is our family.
03:59Oh, he just wants attention.
04:01Don't give him satisfaction.
04:04The film has an entire emotional, spiritual, visual life which is as valid as the book.
04:11He's done it like me but in a more brilliant, modern, fantastical way which takes nothing from my book but
04:19enhances, enriches my book.
04:25Cominciamo il putiferio!
04:27Sono cattivo, sono cattivo!
04:37Ti mangerei da quanto ti amo.
04:53Ti mangerei da quanto ti amo.
04:54Ti mangerei da quanto ti amo.
04:58Ti mangerei da quanto ti amo.
04:59Ti mangerei da quanto ti amo.
05:00Ti mangerei da quanto ti amo.
