Here is the brand-new trailer for Spike Jonze's upcoming adventure "Where the Wild Things Are," and wow... this one is even more awesome than its predecessor.

Based on the popular book by Maurice Sendak, the plot follows Max, a disobedient little boy who's sent to bed without his supper and creates his own world -- a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.

Catherine Keener, Max Records, Mark Ruffalo, James Gandolfini, Forest Whitaker and Catherine O'Hara are part of the cast. "Wild Things" opens in theaters Oct. 16, 2009, and I have a strong feeling it will deliver the goods big time.

BTW, Jonze's credits also include "Adaptation" and "Being John Malkovich."
