Mesmerizing Trailer For Adventure Comedy "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"

20th Century Fox has released the first official trailer for Ben Stiller‘s next directorial film, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."  It is a remake of the 1947 film with the same name. Featuring Ben Stiller as Walter Mitty, Kristen Wiig as Mitty's love interest, Adam Scott as Mitty's boss, Patton Oswalt as an eHarmony customer service, representative, Sean Penn as Sean O'Connell, an Arctic explorer and Shirley MacLaine. This trailer for Walter Mitty, however, is brilliant and refreshing, as it attempts to capture the mood and tone of the film with a simple (and haunting) Of Monsters and Men song and minimal dialogue.  It really looks like Stiller has crafted something special here.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer, and an official synopsis. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty opens December 25th.

Official Synopsis:

"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."
