View Full Version : $250,000
I was up snowboarding yesterday and I was riding the lift up and there was a guy on the lift with me and he said he was from calli. We started talking about hiking and he asked me if I knew about the movie redford is going to be making about the A.T.? I said yes I heard about it on whiteblaze.net. He started laughing. He said he had a friend who is a hiker and the pool guy for redford and redford has a probe on whiteblaze looking at posts and trying to find the right person to be on set with him trying to get the "real feel" of the A.T. The person he finds will be paid $250,000 for the services. I was shocked. So if you want to be set for a couple of years keep your posts about redford and bryson easy and it might be worth $250,000. But maybe they are looking for someone who is truthful about the book. You will never know.

I'd be the last person they would pick. I wasn't one to complain or skip sections, unlike bryson himself. I did chuckle a few times while heading up the approach trail thinking of Bill and Katz dumping their stuff and huffing and puffing up springer. You knew right there they weren't hiking the whole thing.
I humbly volunteer my services. ;):D

Watch for that perpetuity clause in the contract. If you do anything significant on the trail and want to put it out there in video or word form, they got you. The jist of it is they want to have you for the entire time they are filming. But the reality of it is that in perpetuity means for the rest of your life. So, basically, they have you from the time you sign the form to many years after you are gone. Oh, the definition of perpetuity is always and forever. From what I know of the word forever, means all of time. In a legal fight, they could technically say "forever" applies to the past as well. So if you do anything significant after(or maybe even before) signing the contract, even if it is unrelated to the Trail, they could gag you with the contract and cash in themselves. Don't sign anything without a lawyer looking it over first.
I like Redford and all too but you gotta remember he's running a business. A business has to make money so even though it seems like this quaint, funny Appalachian film-it ain't!!!
ATTROLL- If I were you I'd either obtain or transcribe every word from that movie. And if anything matches a phrase or quote from this sight I'd sue `em!
It's a shame we couldn't have a lawyer checking up on them every now and again anyway....

Just immagine combining those ideas with Bryson's book....to meld it into something more visual and have good music score....I immagine hearing some Bluegrass for the south sections and some good folk music for the north. I think its harder than it seems.

Political activity
Redford is politically liberal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal), and has supported environmentalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmentalism) and Native American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States) rights.

He confirmed that Redford has been keeping an eye on Whiteblaze and said something about his username being Wild Cowboy. He went on to say that he picked this name because his greatest role was playing the Sundnace Kid and he got to be a wild cowboy in that film. He was going to use Sundance, but he figured everyone would figure that one out. Gee, I hope I don't get his toilet guys fired by posting this.

Yes, and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists too...but even though I'm still paying dues to both unions, I haven't even bothered to attend a casting call for over 10 years. Part "been there, done that", part despair of ever being "discovered" and lastly (but definitely not leastly) I get paid way better at my regular job than the "extra" work.
The best I ever got paid was about $100/hour for a TV ad starring me and my '93 Harley.

No it will be R rated for LW appearing in a thong next to his Hot Dog Cart at the start of the opening day!:eek:
You were going to Send me the pic so I could Photoshop it?
Let's all wish L Wolf well tomorrow.
I hope he isn't too pithy for the Hollywood big shots.

Since Redford dropped the movie, I've taken it upon myself to begin filming it myself.....

Well? It's Thursday now. :confused:
I'm Robert Redford, I've been lurking here for a while. I used a female avatar to keep anyone from getting suspicious!
But now it's time to spill the beans because I need "authentic" hikers to be extras. Shoot me a PM and some head shots if you want a part in the movie!

::: Dino predicts movie will be rated 'R' for language :D :::
That's common enough when a thruhiker gets to a trail shelter in a downpour to find 20 Boy Scouts have already swarmed it, the only vehicle to pass by a road crossing the first hour when he's hitchhiking if anything speeds up when the driver sees him, or when the thruhiker does a face plant memorable enough to be mentioned to other hikers the next day. An "authentic" AT thruhike movie would have to show those scenes, complete with the inevitable accompanying fluent "Anglo-Saxon".

"Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer."
- Mark Twain, a Biography
Those circumstances do inevitably arise periodically over the course of a thruhike...

Redford has'nt made a decent movie since The Natural. Oh and I did like Spy Game too.
Secretly, hopes RR appreciates brutal honesty.
