I saw this trailer yesterday and just can’t stop watching it. There is some powerful/famous still images featured in the trailer.  It seems Walter’s (Ben Stiller) day dreams are influenced by the images he sees on a daily basis being a Life Magazine photo manager.  My favorite moment from the trailer is when Walter is looking at a black and white print of a man (Sean Penn) and the man in the photo begins to beckon to Walter.  When I make an image I always try to leave room for the viewer to place themselves into the scene. Which is why I find this to be such a powerful moment.

The movie is based on a short story by James Thurber which was originally published in 1939.  You can read the short story here.

I’m looking forward to seeing if the movie holds up to how awesome I think the trailer is.
