I don't know where I've been, but I guess a clip from Where The Wild Things Are surfaced online and it wasn't up to snuff. Well, I don't know if it wasn't up to snuff, but director Spike Jonze's official response to the clip definitely seems defensive.
Spike Jonze's Officially Wild Response
Here is Spike Jonze's official response, as sent over by Warner Bros.
“that was a very early test with the sole purpose of just getting some footage to Ben our vfx (visual effects) supervisor to see if our vfx plan for the faces would work. The clip doesn’t look or feel anything like the movie, the Wild Thing suit is a very early cringy prototype, and the boy is a friend of ours Griffin who we had used in a Yeah Yeah Yeahs video we shot a few weeks before. We love him, but he is not in the actually film...Oh and that is not a wolf suit, its a lamb suit we bought on the internet. Talk to you later...“
The rule of thumb for most leaked clips and trailers is that they are usually incomplete and look like shit, so go figure.
