NEW YORK (Reuters) - Robert Redford may soon be reunited on screen with Paul Newman but don't expect a sequel to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" or "The Sting," which paired one of Hollywood's most popular double acts three decades ago.
Media reports earlier this year suggested the two would pair up in an adaptation of Bill Bryson's travel book "A Walk in the Woods," the story of the author's hike through the American wilderness with a friend.
As a long distance hiker (or former Long Distance Hiker) I hope they do NOT make this movie. The book, although funny at times, does not give a true picture of an Appalachian Trail Thruhike.
I am a member of the
Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association.
though I no longer do any hiking due to my health issues. This is a fanatastic group of people who love to go hiking for more than just a weekend.
Remind me to tell you of my "Hike along the AT" in 1998 sometime.
But only if I get pushed into it....
