Photo Flash: First Look at Disney's ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY

Disney's ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY, the first live-action film adaptation of Judith Viorst's 1972 illustrated children's classic, has just released its first still. Check it out below!

The film, directed by Independent Spirit Award-winner Miguel Arteta ("The Good Girl," "Cedar Rapids," "Youth in Revolt") from a screenplay by Rob Lieber, is a 21 Laps Entertainment/Jim HensonCompany production. Shooting in the Los Angeles area, with locations in the cities of Pasadena and Arcadia, the San Fernando Valley and Melody Ranch in Newhall, the film hits theaters nationwide on October 10, 2014.

The cast includes Broadway vet Megan Mullally (Grease, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Young Frankenstein) and Jennifer Coolidge (The Women and Elling.)

Steve Carell ("The Way, Way Back," "Little Miss Sunshine," the forthcoming "Foxcatcher") and Jennifer Garner ("Dallas Buyers Club, "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," "Juno") star as Alexander's upbeat parents. The veteran performers are joined in the film by a trio of young talents that includes 16-year-old Dylan Minnette ("Lost," the upcoming "Prisoners") as Alexander's older brother, Anthony; 15-year-old Kerris Dorsey (TV's "Ray Donovan," "Moneyball") as sister Emily; and 12-year-old Australian native Ed Oxenbould (Oz TV's "Puberty Blues"), who makes his big-screen feature debut as the film's title character, Alexander.

The film is produced by Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum," "Date Night," "Real Steel"), Emmy nominee and CEO of the Jim Henson Company Lisa Henson, and 21 Laps Entertainment President Dan Levine ("The Internship," "Along Came Polly," "Freedom Writers"). It's executive produced by industry veteran Philip Steuer ("Saving Mr. Banks," "Oz The Great and Powerful," "The Chronicles of Narnia" trilogy) and Jason Lust ("Whip It," "The Waiting Game").

Disney's "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life-a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he's not alone when his brother, sister, mom and dad all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one.
