Looks like Kristen Wiig is going to star in Ben Stiller’s remake of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, based on the short-story and worldwide required 8th grade English class reading assignment by James Thurber. Wiig would play “the co-worker about whom Mitty, a henpecked photo manager at a magazine, fantasizes as he dreams his way out of a humdrum life.†The larger-than-life fantasy sequences in that story will probably be a good way to showcase Wiig’s broader comedic talents. Also I bet there will be fun outfits.
