The film was the newest film adaptation
of the short story of the same title,
written by James Thurber and was
published in The New Yorker in 1939.
Eight years later, a film adaptation was
made starring Danny Kaye, though the
story was entirely different from the
original.
In Stiller's movie, Walter is a single guy
who is fixated on his co-worker (Kristen
Wiig) but can't come up with enough
interesting facts about himself to fill out
his eHarmony profile. Walter is a photo
editor for Life magazine, but he can't
find the one shot from a famous
photojournalist (Sean Penn) that is
meant for the cover of the final issue. So
he finally breaks free of his humdrum life
to see the world and track down the
missing photograph.
Stiller ends up starring and directing the
entire movie after much negotiation
during the pre-production. Jim Carrey
and Sacha Baron Cohen were considered
for the role of Walter Mitty, while
