Where are those Wild things?

So I filmed the first scene of The Room today. The aim of this scene was to pass through (in slo-mo of course) the life of one my characters and to show his life as it spirals out of control. To do this I needed several extra's to be his class/detention mates and a teacher to abuse him. NOTE: Teachers aren't good actors.

Or so I thought. It turned out my selection of Mr.Ringer was awesome and he came ready for action. After setting the shot up (taking in the fact that Mr.Ringer is the half-brother of Hagrid) we took 5 or 6 takes and then proceeded with close up's.

I can't properly describe how much relief I feel to know that 1) my ideas don't suck and work out like they should and 2) I have it in me to be a good director. Of course, if I'm going to destroy the world with my films then I will have to be more than a good director but at the moment, that is great.

To awake you from the slumber I have probably bored you into here are some things I think you may need to see:

Pics from, Where The Wild Things Are, written and directed by Spike Jonze (Being John Malcovich, Adaptation) have been released and it looks amazing. The animation looks like nothing I've seen before. So this is on the list of things to be excited for.

Check out the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NOkQ4dYVaM . Also, Transformers 2 is out today and as soon as I have observed its beauty with my own two eyes I will report back and give you my thoughts (I promise no spoilers).

Let's just say that Isabel Lucas might have another stalker in the very near future.
