Shirley MacLaine is in talks to join 20th Century Fox's long-awaited update of the 1947 classic film "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."
According to Deadline.com, Ben Stiller is directing and starring in the film.
The project has gone through several directors such as Gore Verbinski, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Chuck Russell.
Mike Myers and Jim Carrey had been attached at various points as the star.
Steve Conrad ("The Pursuit of Happyness") wrote the script.
Samuel Goldwyn Jr. and John Goldwyn are producing with production set to begin in April.
"Walter Mitty" is based on James Thurber's 1939 short story about a day-dreaming book editor who imagines numerous heroic lives for himself.
The 1947 film, which differed greatly from the original story, starred Danny Kaye as Mitty.
MacLaine, who won an Oscar for her role in "Terms of Endearment," was last seen in "Valentine's Day."
