The film, directed by Spike Jonze and starring James Gandolfini, has been in planning for a whopping 20 years and has already worked it's way through more producers than a Spice Girl, with the main problem being that the original book only contained 10 sentences (if only Katie Price followed the same rule).
Tom Hanks turned up to the premiere, along with Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's who provided all the music (which is ace).The trailer is below but, is the film any good? Well reviews are quite hard to find at the moment, but according to Devin Faraci of CHUD.com (me neither), it is:
"An arthouse masterpiece about the sorrows of growing up. A sensitive, beautiful masterpiece about the pain of being a bright, creative, lonely, troubled child. A brilliant masterpiece about the search for love, acceptance, stability and comfort."

I really want to see this. It was one of my childhood favourites, I hope they didn't fuck it up.
Okay so, from the left then:
Rolf Harris morphs into Alan Sugar via a bucket of liver spots
Dunno - there's a bit of a 'Welsh' look to it. I'll get back to you...
Not even sure of it's sex, but I think Natalie Cassidy has pissed in its gene pool at some point
Oh yeah - number two: Former Liverpool full back Joey Jones??
I didn't know Gareth Southgate was in this film (pic1)
That film reviewer is so obviously comparing himself to that "bright, creative, lonely, troubled child." You know, like when Martin Amis says things such as "the incredibly handsome academic stared listlessly in the mirror at his unbelievably beautiful body."
Your thumbnail'd jpg looked as if Salman Rushdie was at the premiere, so naturally I was going to tear into it, cos apart from Dame Ben Kingsley (or Sir to his neighbours) there is NO-ONE more pompous than Rushdie. Prick.
Happily though he's not in the film as it sounds quite lovely.
I don't get it - to the best of my recollection, the book was about a naughty kid who pissed off his parents, so he got sent to bed and had a dream that he went to an island filled with wild things because HE was a wild thing and they did wild thing things and he got made king of the wild things and then his horrid little heart started to actually feel sorry for how much of a twat he'd been then he went home, but actually woke up and his poor long suffering mother came and was nice to him because he has worn her down.
(Sorry for spoilers)
The point is though, he was a BAD child, not a GOOD child who was neglected by his wine-swilling parents, which is what this film seems to be about.
Fuck this, stop messing with kid's books. First Fantastic Mr Fox with an AMERICAN fox, and now this? Twunts.
