Gone
Still up, for now...
Though there's going to be some time before we see the light of day for Where the Wild Things Are, 2009, some hints of what the film will look like are beginning to show. Most recently a clip surfaced over the weekend. The origins of the clip can't be confirmed, though Ain't It Cool News seem to think it's an unfinished cut from the studio.
Update: Well that didn't last too long. The clip has been pulled from all the sources, Dailymotion, Youtube, and Ain't It Cool.

It's been a long time since we've heard from Charlie Kaufman, four years since Eternal Sunshine, so it's no wonder that IMDBers are salivating over his new project, expected to be released this year. According to IMDB Synecdoche, New York is about "a theater director (Hoffman) struggling with his work, and the women in his life, as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his new play." This will be Kaufman's first time directing. Read more of the plot in the extended description.
