**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G.H. Harding **** Anne Meara And Jerry Stiller SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY --- Though it won't be out till December 25, the trailer of Ben Stiller’s forthcoming re-boot of The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, has hit theaters and is a tasty treat indeed; if you didn't want to see this movie before, you will now! Plus, it comes sound tracked with OMAM’s “Dirty Paws” as a musical background – the trailer is simply fantastic; in fact, I can say right now, certainly one of the best I've ever seen. Stiller is a smart, smart movie-maker (who else could do Zoolander?) … and, actor. Methinks being the progeny of such actors (Jerry Stiller and Anne Mera) had a lot to do with it. This is an update version of the original 1947 movie that starred Danny Kaye, Virginia Mayo, and Boris Karloff (!). This re-boot, in addition to Stiller, stars Sean Penn, Kristen Wiig, Shirley MacLaine, and Patton Oswalt. Can't wait for...

BEN STILLER STATEMENT "It's heartbreaking to see the images coming out of Haiti. The people there need our immediate help. I was there last year for the first time, and was struck by the amazing spirit and culture of the people and place, and the extreme hardship these people have lived with – and that was before the recent tragedy,” Stiller told Pop Tarts in a statement on Wednesday. “Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world which will make their recovery from this disaster extremely difficult.
