The-Secret-Life-of-Walter-Mitty-sliceReturning behind the camera for the first time since Tropic Thunder, Ben Stiller returns this Christmas with The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

With just a few weeks left on the clock before the film arrives in cinemas, Fox has released an extended trailer for the anticipated movie, one of our must-see movies of the month, teasing an impressive six minutes of footage.

Ben Stiller directs and stars in THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, James Thurber’s classic story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker (Kristen Wiig) 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.

Stiller is on both sides of the camera once more, starring as the eponymous Walter Mitty. Kristen Wiig joins him as the female lead, Walter Mitty’s co-worker and the love interest for the film, with Adam Scott, Sean Penn, Kathryn Hahn, Patton Oswalt, and Shirley MacLaine completing the cast.

Steve Conrad (The Pursuit of Happyness) penned the script, remaking the 1947 film of the same name, and adapting the original short story by James Thurber.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty will be released in the US on Christmas Day, with its UK release date following just a day later on Boxing Day. In the meantime, treat yourself to a nice extended look at what promises to be one of the most unique films of the year. Enjoy.
