Let the Wild Rumpus Start!

One of the year's most anticipated films, Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book Where the Wild Things Are, is finally here!

At a special SPIN-sponsored event Wednesday night at New York City's Paris Theater, lucky fans saw the film two days before its official release. Following the screening, there was a Q&A session with the film's stars: Catherine Keener and Max Records, director Spike Jonze, screenwriter Dave Eggers, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O, who wrote and sang the movie's soundtrack.

Here, Karen O starts the Wild Rumpus with a smile on Manhattan's 58th Street.
