Sacha Baron Cohen Offered Lead in Remake of Danny Kaye 'Secret Life of Walter Mitty' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

For 16 years there have been all sorts of "developments" on The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye comedy of the same name that was loosely based on a short story by James Thurber. Back in 1994 the project had Jim Carrey attached to star with Steven Spielberg set to direct, but the most recent iteration (which was preceded with tons of re-writes from writers like Zach Helm, Jay Kogen, Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant) had Mike Myers attached with Mean Girls director Mark Waters at the helm. But now Pajiba reports Myers is no longer involved and an offer is out to Sacha Baron Cohen to lead the film.

How about they just re-release Danny's original?

Or maybe I'm just a little biased.
