BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Kristen Wiig To Star In The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

The "Bridesmaids" star would play a co-worker who pops up in Walter Mitty's fantasy life in the new film version of the James Thurber short story.

Kristen Wiig is in negotiations to star opposite Ben Stiller in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the long-gestating fantasy comedy that Stiller also is directing for 20th Century Fox.

A remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye movie based on the James Thurber short story, the film centers on a timid magazine photo manager (Stiller) who daydreams of exciting adventures, only to find himself in an adventure of his own when he goes in search of a missing negative.

Wiig will play his co-worker and the girl of his fantasies.

Mitty will be Wiig's first big studio gig since her breakout starring role in last year’s comedy Bridesmaids. The comedienne, who shot two independent projects, Imogene and Revenge of the Jolly!, over the summer, has been very careful about selecting her next role.

The movie is eyeing an April start and will shoot in New York and Iceland.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure
