Ah yes, it’s a relatively slow Friday so we have a contest for you.
Want to win a “Where The Wild Things Are” prize pack that includes:
– “Where The Wild Things Are” Official Soundtrack CD by Karen O & The Kids
– “Where the WIld Things Are” Tote Bag
– “Where The Wild Things Are” Mask?
Yes, you probably do. To win All one has to do is email us the answer to this relatively easy answer, though somewhat kinda tricky if you haven’t paid attention.
The ‘Wild Things’ in Spike Jonze’s directed film were voiced by (according to all Warner Bros. material) James Gandolfini, Paul Dano, Chris Cooper, Lauren Ambrose, Forest Whitaker, and Catherine O’Hara, but that means one voice actor that was initially reported as part of the project, and was even quoted about talking about their participation in the film, was replaced.
Be the first person to email us the name of the actor replaced and you win the contents above, but here’s a hint, it’s not the certain girlfriend you think it is. CONTEST CLOSED: The Answer (which most people got wrong, btw is Tom Noonan. He was supposed to voice Douglas the chicken. We guessed this earlier in the year. At Cannes last year, Noonan, who had already been reported as part of the cast, talked about his role in the film as the “big chicken,” whose characters name is Douglas. Again, we had already guessed this, but the second set of ‘Wild Things’ character posters confirmed that Chris Cooper voices Douglas (ok these posters don’t say it specifically, but there were versions that did, trust us).
Meanwhile, all we’ve heard so far from the official “Where The Wild Things Are,” soundtrack by Karen O The Kids (an army of indie rockers) is the “Sesame Street”-like song, “All Is Love,” but Boomkat has two more songs for your listening pleasure. They’re about :30 second clips, but they’re better than nothing.
