The posters continue for Ben Stiller’s much-buzzed adaptation of James Thurber’s novel THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, which the US comic actor takes the lead and directs. The story was previously brought to the screen in 1947 with Danny Kaye as the daydreaming title character in the classic fantasy film directed by Norman Z. McLeod. This time Stiller updates the story to present day as his bored Life magazine editor becomes the hero in his own magical adventures.
Ben Stiller directs and stars in THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, James Thurber’s classic story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker (Kristen Wiig) are threatened, Walter takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.
The superb supporting cast also includes Kristen Wiig, Shirley MacLaine, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn and Sean Penn. It’s set for US cinemas on the 25th December and the UK from Boxing Day.
