Stiller spent five weeks in the country in what is reported to be the most extensive foreign film project in Iceland this year. According to ruv.is, 250 Icelanders worked on the project, which was filmed at seven locations around the country.
Icelandic actor Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, who also stars in Baltasar Kormákur’s recently-released The Deep, played a major role in the movie. Stiller wrote on Twitter that Ólafur is “One of the best actors in Iceland.”
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is to premiere in the U.S. over Christmas next year.
