We've been anticipating this movie for a while. The previews are enticing, it seems their strategy for modernizing the story was to increase the amount of violence. It's obviously a tricky task to make that book into a feature length. Hopefully Jonez will handle it tactfully.
I have a sneaky suspicion Sendak would approve (and may have initially wanted more violence) judging by one of his quotes from the "we love you so" website:
"Swine Lake is illustrated by Maurice and based on Marshall’s manuscript about a wolf who hatches a plan to devour a ballet company comprised entirely of pigs, only to end up discovering his admiration for the art of dance and joins them on stage. It’s Three Little Pigs meets Billy Elliot. When asked, in the same interview, if the wolf learns a lesson at the end of Swine Lake, Maurice snorts disdainfully and responds: “I never wrote a book where I taught a lesson. And the wolf is going to eat those pigs eventually. He just doesn’t do it in this book.”
