Director Spike Jonze has used Arcade Fire's rousing song 'Wake Up' as the backing music for the trailer of his highly anticipated forthcoming film 'Where The Wild Things Are'.

In addition, Yeah Yeah Yeahs' frontwoman Karen O is working on the soundtrack along with composer Carter Burwell, with input from Deerhunter's Bradford Cox, reports Pitchfork.

The film, based on the popular children's book of the same name, is due out in the US on October 16.
