Spike Jonze has worked with Absolut Vodka to launch his latest short film, "I'm Here", at the Sundance Film Festival. The 30 minute short film explores the relationship between two robots living in Los Angeles, played by Andrew Garfield and Sienna Guillory. "I'm here" was developed after Absolut reached out to Jonze to make a film, and gave him creative control to create the film he wanted. In addition to the 30-minute film, there are also 30 and 60 second trailers, to be used online and as TV commercials globally.

"It was a pretty incredible opportunity," says Jonze. "They (Absolut) didn't give me any requirements to make a movie that had anything to do with vodka. They just wanted me to make something that was important to me, and let my imagination take me wherever I wanted. And it wasn't like working with some huge corporation...

Where the Wild Things Are as a movie has been in production for about 4 years now and we’re finally getting close to the being able to see it on the big screen. It’s out 11th December and we here at HeyUGuys can’t wait to see it.
The guys over at Vbs.TV have just sent us a brand new featurette exclusive to their site which features an interview with author / illustrator of Where the Wild Things Are, Maurice Sendak and director of the new movie, Spike Jonze.
In the clip, Sendak talks about how the book took a long time to be recognised as a piece of work that would capture kids’ imagination everywhere. He talks about the press he received being very bad but goes on to talk about how Jonze was the perfect man to take this project on as a movie. To Jonze, Sendak...

Where The Wild Things Are director Spike Jonze comparing concept art for "Ira" to the clay maquette built by the Jim Henson Creature Workshop. Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. However you feel about Spike Jonze’s treatment of Where the Wild Things Are, you can’t be anything but dazzled by the way he and his team brought Maurice Sendak’s beasts to life. Often choosing the path of most resistance—the film took six years to make, after all—Jonze opted not to rely solely on computer graphics to render the Wild Things. However advanced C.G.I. technology has become, it simply wouldn’t have looked substantial enough to recreate those terrible teeth and those terrible claws. Instead, he called up the Jim Henson Creature Workshop, which created elaborate full-body Wild-Things suits of otherworldly, grotesque beauty. Computer imagery was only brought in as a final veneer, to animate the creatures’ faces.

If you are like me, you can track your love of monsters all the way back to one specific childhood incident: when somebody first read you Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are.
The story of Max, a wild child who travels to a remote island full of monsters and becomes their king, Wild Things is a brilliant fable. Where The Wild Things Are and A Confederacy Of Dunces were the two books I most dreaded seeing Hollywood adapt.
I needn't have worried. Spike Jonze's film plays like McSweeney's Where The Wild Things Are. It expands the book and is not afraid to be dark. Max(A great Max Records) now lives in the real world of parental divorce, loneliness and feelings of being powerless and alienated from his family.
When Max runs away and meets The Wild Things, they are the faithfully rendered monsters of the book.

As Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are nears its October 16th release date, a whole bunch of neat behind-the-scenes videos and images are beginning to sneak online. Cinematical has received one of those videos, which follows production designer K.K. Barrett (Lost in Translation, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Marie Antoinette) as he discusses at length his career, his projects and the creative process behind Where the Wild Things Are.
This video, along with four others, are part of an ongoing series called "Art Talks" pieced together by Vbs.TV, who've created a pretty groovy looking Wild Things-themed website which you can check out over here. Along with our exclusive behind-the-scenes video with production designer K.K. Barrett, we'll also be treated to chats with Sonny Gerasimowicz (art director), Eric Z. (Spike's artistic sidekick), Lance Accord (cinematographer) and Casey Storm (costume designer) in the coming days. Aside from the videos,...

More images that bottle a sense of "child-like wonder" and "child-like terror" have washed up on the 'nets courtesy of the New York Times. They nicely compliment a post yesterday on Sonny Gerasimowicz, the unlikely art director on Where the Wild Things Are. Grab a child-like blanket and prepare to curl up in the fetal position inside your man-like cubicle after the jump... The Sabbatic-looking goat above is named Alexander and will be voiced by crazy preacher Eli Sunday actor Paul Dano. As mentioned yesterday, this is the Wild Thing that Geracimowicz apparently suited up for after an unnamed actor dropped out. Yes, my mind tells me that this actor was Gary Coleman; lil' man can't catch a break. The preceding header image shows Max Records's arrival by boat onto the violent beach of the Wild Things. Says director Spike Jonze: "This isn't a children's movie. We wanted...
