REEL DEAL: “THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY” AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE PHOTOS

In attendance at the recently concluded Australian (Sydney) premiere of the upcoming adventure comedy “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty are Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig.

Check some of the photos here.

“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” opens January 22 in theaters from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
