Ben Stiller deviates from his usual comedy fare to direct and star in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a film adaptation of the classic 1939 short story by James Thurber. Stiller plays Walter Mitty, a LIFE magazine employee and daydreamer who fantasizes about a life much more exciting than his own. When his job along with that of his co-worker 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 stylistic trailer scored with the song “Dirty Paws” by Of Monsters and Men captivates. Kristen Wiig, Sean Penn, Patton Oswalt and Adam Scott also star in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty out Christmas day.
