– Psyched for Spike Jonze’s “Where The Wild Things Are” adaptation? Well, get ready to wait a little longer. Originally due in October 2008, the film has now been bumped to 2009 which might further fuel rumors that the production has been plagued by shooting and casting difficulties. Your consolation prize in its place is Guy Ritchie’s “RockNRolla,” which is now taking its spot on October 3, 2008. Thanks a lot Warner. [Dark Horizons]

Reilly) insists he has no problem with Zimmy. [Rolling Stone]
