I've been following the production of the movie for a while now and I think it's looking promising, trailer popped up recently so I figured I'd make... a thread.
Definitely my favorite book as a kid, read it countless times and I still own my copy.
Pretty cheesy trailer but I think it looks like it's got potential, cinematography looks nice and the characters are at least slightly realistic looking.

I want to see this as well. I'm sure I still have my copy.
Haha, yeah probably. There have been so many of these types of movies lately I almost don't care, but I think this at least looks interesting.

have to make movies out of every single children's book now?
not that it will be a bad movie... just don't see why it needs to be one
What do you want to see, another Hollywood fart like the new Nicholas Cage movie or the movie with Russel Crowe and Ben Affleck? Ooh, Hollywood, I'm bored, show me something I haven't seen before like an overplayed spy story or some sort of good cop bad cop movie. This actually looks intuitive, putting the perspective in the hands of a child. The book is a classic, so I'm sure this will be done well, as the script was written by the author of the book and directed by Spike Jonze. I'm actually excited.
