Here's what he had to say.

Ben Stiller is making some serious progress on his remake of 1947’s The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty—with director Ben Stiller workshopping daily with star Ben Stiller, giving him honest advice, Stiller to Stiller, and offering the sort of constructive criticism that Ben Stiller knows will get the best performance out of Ben Stiller.

Today is a big day for novelist Jonathan Safran Foer. The author of such critically acclaimed works as Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close received two pretty major pieces of good news.
