We’ve got trailers from Secret Life of Walter Mitty, 47 Ronin, Charlie Countryman, and American Hustle hit the jump to see them all. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Ben Stiller is no stranger to directing, but The Secret Life of Walter Mitty could be the first that will lead him to Oscar Gold. The new trailer introduces us to some of the supporting cast in the film. The film was met with rave reviews when it was screened at the NYFF. Kristen Wiig, Patton Oswalt, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn and Sean Penn also star in The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, which opens in theaters on December 25 47 Ronin In Keanu Reeves‘ first major lead roles since The Matrix Trilogy, the actor plays a rogue samurai who joins another group of samurais to avenge their fallen master. The CGI effects still look shoddy, but the feel of the trailer from the music to the way it was edited gives us slight hope that some good can come out of this. The film also stars Hiroyuki Sanada, Kou Shibasaki, Tadanobu Asano and Rinko Kikuchi. Directed Carl Rinsch, and written by Chris Morgan and Hossein Amini, 47 Ronin opens in theaters on December 25.
