One of my favorite short stories from my school days,
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty by James Thurber, is being rebooted. There was a 1947 big screen version starring Danny Kaye, but Hollywood feels like it is time for an update. Audiences can expect to see it in theatres on Dec. 25, so that means the studio is aiming for awards show season.
The story revolves around an average man who has five heroic dreams. Will he see his dreams realized? The film version stars Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Sean Penn, Shirley MacLaine and Patton Oswalt.
Will you be adding The Secret Life of Walter Mitty to your Christmas movie list?
Watch the trailer below:
Gayle really liked the trailer when we saw it at the movies, but I occasionally have a Ben Stiller twitch (although I have liked some of his movies -- Night At The Museum, Keeping The Faith)...when I asked her why she liked the trailer, she said the idea of the Mitty character working at Life and going into the amazing photos they took for that magazine seemed cool. Further research into the plot makes it sound more adventurous than I expected. So Mitty might be making its way to the watch list.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the fence about this movie since Ben Stiller has made a lot of stinkers. However, I hope he surprises me.
DeleteI like this a lot. Thank you for sharing. I'm always looking for upcycles like this. In the end, you don't know it was a shipping pallet to begin with!
