“Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film," Ric Burns' film on the artist, will be shown tonight and tomorrow night on the PBS's“American Masters” series. According to the Times, Burns had a hard time getting the film made, and still needs to raise $225,000 to finish paying for the $3.6 million film. Warhol's artist stature was questioned by many, as they don't consider "his riffs on celebrity and commerce to be art."

Look out, Max, you may have met your match: Variety's Michael Fleming reports that Spike Jonze will adapt a live-action version of the beloved Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. "Published in 1963, 'Wild Things' is the Caldecott Medal-winning story of Max, a mischievous boy who is sent to bed without supper. In his room, Max uses his imagination to conjure up a forest populated by the wild things, exotic monsters who embrace Max as their ruler." That sounds just like Spike and Hollywood.
