Ben Stiller to direct and star in Walter Mitty remake

*After entering talks to star, Ben Stiller has emerged as actor and
director of _The Secret Life of Walter Mitty_ remake.*

When Stiller was approached to head up the cast, rumours circled that
Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard or Gore Verbinski could be sitting in the
director's chair.

It had also been previously suggested that Sacha Baron Cohen might
star as the mild mannered fantasist.

However, Stiller will take up both duties and 20th Century Fox hope to
start filming in January of next year.
