Director and star Ben Stiller goes on an epic journey in three new posters for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Based on the James Thurber story, the film centers on a daydreaming office worker who grows the courage to go on a real-life journey to save the jobs of his colleagues and the woman he loves, played by Kristen Wiig. These are brilliant images, that better than anything we've seen recently get across simply the surreal aspects of the film. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty opens on Christmas Day.
Is that blood or paint in these posters for Luc Besson's The Family? My guess is that the red stuff all over Robert De Niro's hands isn't endorsed by Glidden™. He plays an ex-Mafia boss who enters his family into the Witness Protection Program in France after turning rat against the mob. But they find their new boring lives tough to maintain, and as they fall into old habits, it attracts the attention of those they were running from.The action-comedy also stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Dianna Agron, and Tommy Lee Jones, opening on September 13th.
Tom Hanks takes on the title role in Captain Phillips, the harrowing true story of the U.S. Maersk Alabama vessel's hijacking by Somalian pirates in 2009. Directed by Paul Greengrass and co-starring Catherine Keener, the film could be one of two (along with Saving Mr. Banks) that could thrust Hanks back into the Best Actor race for the first time in years.
