The second trailer for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty adds more narrative context to the film than the original trailer did. The Ben Stiller-directed/starring film is about a common office worker (Stiller) who constantly loses himself in his daydreams. However, when his and his office crush’s (Kristen Wiig) are in danger, he takes it upon himself to embark on an adventure even he could never have imagined.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty has been generating a lot of Oscars buzz since its premiere this past weekend, and the new trailer sheds some light on why. The academy is full of suckers for coming-of-age, life-affirming, mid-life crisis dramas, and Walter Mitty certainly hits all of those points. The film will be released on Christmas Day.
