When the Wild Things Are: For those waiting for a shred of good news to emerge from the long industrial nightmare that is the Where the Wild Things Are release date saga, today might be your day. Warner Bros has reportedly announced Spike Jonze’s troubled fantasy will finally land in theatres on Oct. 19, 2009 — almost a year after its original date, which Warners scuttled for re-shoots that didn’t seem help matters much as they dragged on. It’s too long a wait for us to hold our breath, but we’ll keep quiet from here lest some WTWTA curse abides. You can never be too careful. [Coming Soon via Vulture]
