In conjunction with the release of the highly anticipated feature film from director Spike Jonze, Where The Wild Things Are, the videogame of the popular children’s book will be available on Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game systems in October.

The film version of Where The Wild Things Are is directed by Spike Jonze, produced by Tom Hanks and stars Mark Ruffalo, Lauren Ambrose, James Gandolfini and Forest Whitaker.
