Books in the movies!

Okay, I know they don't always get them right, but it is fun when your favorite books are made into movies. And lately it seems like a lot of them are being adapted (maybe Hollywood has no new ideas?). Anyway, here's a collection of the ones I'm most excited about*: Where the Wild Things Are: I CANNOT tell you how excited I am about this. Also, Maurice Sendak the author/illustrator has given it his blessing so you know he's happy about the finished product! AND, the song in the preview is one of my favorite songs by The Arcade Fire! So happiness all around! Cirque du Freak The Vampire's Assistant : Okay, I haven't read these books so I don't know if this is anything like them, but it looks awesome! Is the character's name really Darren? Isn't that the author's name? Anyway, I love the cast and it looks funny and scary which are a great combo in my mind. Next up is The Fantastic Mr. Fox : This is based on a book I haven't read either, by Roal
