The most famous movie palace in the world, The TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX® (www.tclchinesetheatres.com), is set to honor actor-writer-director BEN STILLER on Tues, Dec. 3, at 11AM.(Uh that’s today!) International film star TOM CRUISE, who received the handprint-footprint honor in 1992, will introduce him!
Cruise has been a longtime fan of Stiller. In 2008, he had a cameo role in Tropic Thunder, which Ben Stiller co- wrote, directed and starred. In the upcoming feature film, THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY (www.waltermitty.com), which opens Dec. 25, 2013, Stiller also stars and directs.
Cruise will next be seen in this summer’s Edge of Tomorrow. His most recent films include Oblivion, Jack Reacher and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.
THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY is James Thurber’s classic story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker (Kristen Wiig) are threatened, Walter takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.
The Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York is about to devote an entire weekend to Ben Stiller’s work behind the camera. The Film Society will screen five Stiller-directed films from Dec. 6-8 in a program called Ben Stiller Directs.
Stiller recently wrapped Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young opposite Naomi Watts and Amanda Seyfried. He previously collaborated with Baumbach in 2010 and received rave reviews for his lead role in Greenberg, which also earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Lead Actor.

About the Chinese Theatres
Since 1927, The TCL Chinese Theatre has been the home of the most important, star powered red carpet movie premieres and special events, where Hollywood’s biggest and brightest talents have come to watch their movies. The most famous movie theatre on the globe is world-renowned for its unique forecourt of the stars, featuring cement hand and footprints of major movie stars, from Marilyn Monroe to Brad Pitt, and numerous stars from all eras of Hollywood. In 2013, the main theatre was relaunched as the world’s largest IMAX® theatre.
Ben comes from a great comedic family: Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara.
I know about his mom and dad. My grandmother used to tell me about them. I gather there are some old VHS videos out there of them. I remember my grandmother loving them.
Ben has the nice deadpan of his mom…
Looks like it’s going to be a great movie
