Who will play Alexander?

It was announced in the trades today that Maurice Sendak's classic, "Where the Wild Things Are" is in turnaround. (Read here for details.) Now I'm not a fan of stretching slim children's books to feature length films -- they've already ruined two Dr. Seuss books that way -- but I'm curious to see what Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers will do to "Things."

I just hope that "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" is next on the horizon, and that they don't modernize it with Alexander getting pissy because his parents won't buy him an Xbox 360.
