Future Film
At one time, producer-directors Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg planned to remake the film with Kevin Anderson as Mitty, but the project fell through. A different production is under way at 20th Century Fox, starring Ben Stiller as Mitty. Kristen Wiig, Shirley MacLaine, Patton Oswalt, Adam Scott and Kathryn Hahn will also appear in the film. Filming has been taking place in Manhattan in May 2012 and in Iceland from July to September; the film's release is tentatively scheduled for Christmas 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or film:
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“I’ll be right here.”
