Where the Wild Things Are - Filmed in Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia is pleased to have been the base for Where The Wild Things Are.

Co-produced by Warner Bros Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, the film is an adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book of the same name, where Max, a mischievous young boy, creates his own world - a forest inhabited by fabulous wild creatures who crown Max their ruler.

Where The Wild Things Are found a home in Melbourne after a worldwide scouting process spanning 18 months. It was the city's spectacular, diverse landscape and talented local film industry that stole the spotlight from competitor destinations like New Zealand, Ireland and Thailand.
