The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a 2013 adventure comedy-drama directed and co-produced by Ben Stiller, who also plays the title role, from a screenplay by Steve Conrad. Like the 1947 film of the same name, it is an adaptation of James Thurber's 1939 short story. Walter Mitty lives alone in New York City and works at Life magazine as the manager of its photo negatives. He constantly drifts into daydreams and has a secret crush on his coworker Cheryl (Kristen Wiig). The famous photojournalist Sean O'Connell (Sean Penn), whom Walter works with but has never met, sends him a roll of film and says that negative number 25 should be the cover of the magazine's final print issue. But that negative is missing, and the manager in charge of the magazine's move to digital wants to see it. So Walter sets out to find the elusive photographer. Shirley MacLaine, Adam Scott and Kathryn Hahn are also in the cast. The film premiered at the New York Film Festival on 5 October 2013, was released in North America by 20th Century Fox on 25 December 2013 and opened in Ukraine on 9 January 2014. The National Board of Review named it one of the top ten films of 2013, and its soundtrack features songs by José González.
