Ben Stiller taking on Owen Wilson’s sloppy seconds?

Ben Stiller has signed to star in the long-awaited remake of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, a film once earmarked the comic actor’s regular cohort Owen Wilson.

According to Deadline, Stiller’s attachment will see the film – which has suffered quite a few setbacks, mainly due to issues with the script – head towards the starting line.

The 1974 film starred Danny Kaye as a perpetual daydreamer.

Steve Conrad (“The Pursuit of Happyness”) is scripting for Fox.

Is Stiller right for the film, though?
