NEW YORK/SANTA MONICA, October 29, 2009 - "Where the Wild Things Are," directed by Spike Jonze and based on Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, debuted in the top spot at the box office this week. Acclaimed editor Jim Haygood, a partner at bicoastal Union, shared editorial duties on the film with colleague Eric Zumbrunnen. Haygood's other film credits include "Fight Club," "The Astronaut Farmer," "Panic Room," and "The Game." 
"This is one of those projects that as soon as you hear the details - based on one of my favorite children's books, Dave Eggers and Spike writing, and getting to work with Spike and Eric Zumbrunnen - you just say yes," said Haygood. "Where the Wild Things Are" chronicles the adventures of Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, who creates his own world: a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler. "Every project is like a child - you love them each in their own way - but this movie is really the one closest to my heart."
Haygood joined Union in March 2008 and was named Partner this year. On the spot front, his recent projects include the PlayStation MLB launch via Deutsch/LA, Range Rover via Y&R, Sprint's "Instict" campaign (Goodby, Silverstein & Partners/SF), which screened in theatres nationwide, Capital One via DDB/Chicago, and Visa via TBWA/Chiat/Day.
