The-Secret-Life-of-Walter-Mitty-sliceArriving in cinemas over the Christmas holiday, Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty marks the director’s long-awaited return following 2008’s Oscar-winning Tropic Thunder.

The adventure-comedy sees Stiller on both sides of the camera, and after launching two new trailers last month, Fox has debuted another great trailer, via IMDb.

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.

Kristen Wiig stars as his on-screen co-worker in the female lead, with Adam Scott, Sean Penn, Kathryn Hahn, Patton Oswalt, and Shirley MacLaine completing the impressive ensemble cast.

Stiller is directing from a script penned by Steve Conrad (The Pursuit of Happyness), remaking the 1947 film of the same name, itself based on James Thurber’s original short story.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty will be released in the US one month today on Christmas Day, with its UK release date set for the following day on 26th December.
