The Trailer for ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ is released. They are doing a really good job of only keeping this video on Apple.com so here is the Link to the trailer.

Just from the artwork above they already took this movie to the next level graphically. It is nice to see another movie taking a VERY common childhood memory and turning it into something enjoyable to adults and children.

Many people expect it, and it will hit theaters on October 16th 2009. Directed by Spike Jonze. Photo from USAtoday.

Kettering University mechanical engineering student Will Foster built the 1:2 scale tank using plywood, a three-cycle diesel engine, and a bunch of other random crap. It has a top speed of 20 MPH and can shoot paintballs, golf balls, and empty Red Bull cans out of its air cannon. Will estimates it’s got about $2,000 worth of parts in it, but says he’s spent over $10,000 due to the trial-and-error nature of its construction. Let’s see, what else? Oh yeah, it’s got a sweet “420″ painted on the turret in red. Will, you funny little stoner you — so crafty. Seriously though, I commend you on your ability to finish a project while smoking the chronic. Did I say chronic? I meant schwag (and maybe the occasional beaster). Still, good job.

Video of Will and the tank after the jump, along with a link to the longer article.
