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.
