The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Directed by Ben Stiller
Written by Steve Conrad
Starring Ben Stiller, Kristin Wiig, Adam Scott, Sean Penn, and Shirley MacLaine
Release date: December 25, 2013

Ben Stiller‘s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a common, oft-heard message masquerading as an insight.

To be fair, the message is a sound one “” one we’ve all heard countless times “” but one that few of us heed: Live. Live your life. Get out there and experience it. In order to remind us of that message, superimposed text graphics that feel like they’re from a “Just Do It” Nike commercial, are peppered throughout.

Again, while the sentiment is worthy, I fretted our culture has cultivated an audience for material that feels pithy, but is anything but. In short, the suggestion that they’ve experienced something deep and enriching is enough to make them believe they actually have.

We saw the first trailer for the long-coming new adaptation of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty back in July, and it looked very promising, especially in the visuals department. But if that trailer wasn’t enough for you, a new extended trailer has been released, clocking in at just over six minutes and showing off much more of what you can expect from the movie, which hits theaters on Christmas day.

Walter Mitty is directed by and stars Ben Stiller in the title role, with Kristen Wiig, Shirley MacLaine, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn, Patton Oswalt, and Sean Penn joining him on the cast.

A first trailer has been released for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a new adaption of the James Thurber short story that first appeared in The New Yorker in 1939. Thurber’s short story was previously adapted in the 1947 film of the same name, which starred Danny Kaye in the title role.

The movie is directed by and stars Ben Stiller as a daydreamer who often escapes to his own fantasy worlds. It also stars Kristen Wiig, Shirley MacLaine, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn, and Sean Penn, and will arrive in theaters on Christmas day.
