[snowhoe]

My uncle lives in Asheville N.C. and he told me that he has a friend who is setting stuff up for the movie A walk in the woods. He said that they are going to be filming alot of the 1st part of the movie there. Has anyone elese heard about this?

Redford ain't Bryson. Maybe Jim Belushi.

For Katz, gotta go with Jack Black.

Other ideas?

haha, I didn't even read the this post until now, but my prediction is already starting to hold up.

John Candy would be a perfect Katz- but he's dead....

[RITBlake]

I guess I'll play.

Any fan of the Howard Stern show knows that Artie Lange would be perfect for Katz.

Out of shape, funny, and callous.

I watch robert redford's other outdoorsy movie probably once a month...



You cook good rabbit, pilgrim.

Never can get enough of it. This should be a good movie as well, but it probably won't be out for another couple years at least.

How awesome. Trailtalker was just telling me about this a month ago but she couldnt remember which actor it was.

Herreeee we go again. How many times have we heard this???

Like there are no NEW people on this forum that may find this interesting??

They might find it an interesting that the exact same rumor that's been floating around about RR making a movie based on the book for the last few years is back again?

Until someone has some cold hard information that the movie is being filmed, pictures of the set, casting call information, scripts, etc... it's just a rumor.

The thread will follow a predictable trend of people discussing what actor should play what character, then some discussion about how Bryson was a candy ass who didn't finish the trail and the movie shouldn't be made, and then some debate on how it's actually a good book even though he didn't finish, and finally someone will point out that the art director for his book selected a grizzly bear on the cover, which as we know, don't live in the Appalachian range.

So far my first two predictions have come through,let's wait and see I bet the rest follow.

Right Blake, it has been here many times. I can say though that I think the movie will be made. I worked a week or so late this summer with National Geographic on the AT in Georgia. We were filming for a documentary on the trail due for release in the spring sometime. They were aware of the movie and said it was going to be made, probably for a late 2009 or early 2010 release. Winton at MTX also is pretty sure the movie is in the works. Anyway, I could care either way. My movie will be out early 2009. It's a documentary, not a fake Hollywood movie about people who wrote a fictional book about the trail.

When Bryson was on TV he claimed that all the events in the book actually happened.
