Just in from /Film, which is citing CHUD:

Sabotage!?! There’s incredibly weird, and increasingly depressing, buzz coming off Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are, and now Chud reports that execs at Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are considering reshooting the entire $75 million friggin’ movie! This news, of course, comes on top of the rather cool test footage that leaked last weekend, and the rather subdued statement Jonze released yesterday concerning the early footage.

Extremely well placed sources have told CHUD’s Devin Faraci that Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are is the subject of a “behind-the-scenes debate” at Warner Bros and Legendary as the suits are very unhappy with the film and with the lead child actor (i.e., Max Records) and want to reshoot essentially the whole picture.
