1st look at Ben Stiller in “Secret Life of Walter Mitty”

PanARMENIAN.Net - A remake of 1947′s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty has been in development since 1996, but Ben Stiller is the one who finally made it a reality, Collider said.

In addition to directing, Stiller stars as the eponymous LIFE Magazine proofreader who, incapable of standing up for himself in the real world, retreats to a fantasy where he becomes his poised, confident opposite. On his quests, he seeks to find a missing image taken by a photographer played by Sean Penn. The first image from the film has been released, featuring a haggard Mr. Mitty holding a skateboard on terrain that doesn’t seem particularly suited to skateboarding.

The movie also stars Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott, Shirley MacLaine, Patton Oswalt, and Kathryn Hahn. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty opens December 25th.
