Take a first look at Ben Stiller's fantasy adventure about a mild-mannered picture editor who loses himself to his daydreams after a precious stock photo goes missing. Based on James Thurber's classic short story, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a passion project for Stiller, who went into his love for Thurber's tale in an interview with the New Yorker last year. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was first made into a feature film in 1947 by Norman Z. McLeod. Stiller's version, which also stars Kristen Wiig, Sean Penn and Shirley MacLaine will be released in December

This looks really interesting!

1. In the Danny Kaye original version,

Walter fantasizes about being a misogynist women's hat designer.

It was a hilarious and bizarre song written by Sylvia Fine, Danny Kaye's wife:

2. "...pocketa queep, pocketa pocketa QUEEP..."

I love that short story. And all the rest of Thurber.

3. December release --

The studio must be confident it is going to hit big at the box office. I like Stiller and I love the Walter Mitty story. Stiller is directing and he has shown himself to be as talented behind the camera. I am thinking I am going to like this!
