"A Walk in the Woods" Lives...on life support

[hoz]

I really don't want to see the trail crowed with people who are there just because they saw a movie. Let them have to read some long boring book first. Panzer

My feelings exactly on BOTH points. Does the AT really need more people?

I read the book several years ago and for some reason could not get excited about his "journey".

[Lone Wolf]

it's already crowded. what's a few more? bring on the flick!

Michael Richards and Chris Rock

[SGT Rock]

Harold and Kumar.

Bart the Bear died May 10, 2000. RIP

I think he was a Grizz BTW.

Yup, Bart was a Grizz, like the picture on the Book Jacket.

That's where Bart's acting experience would have had to come into play. Sorry to hear he died. Not sure if Little Bart would be up to the challenge of playing a black bear.

Alien vs Predator, The AT Chronicles.

i remember meeting the producers for the movie when they came to blackburn outdoor center when i was held up with my foot in 06. it seemed very serious so i am suprised not to see it out already. they were researching shooting areas and all seemed to be in full swing

It's listed in IMDB with a 2009 release but still in development.

Didn't we already cast Russell Crowe to play you?

"You" meaning Baltimore Jack.

I was thinking more like Randy Quaid.

Chevy Chase as Bryson
Bill Murray as Katz...

I'd like to see Billy Crystal and David Stern team up again (City Slickers) for this.

Memorable lines from "City Slickers":

....must have come from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Crystal - "Hey, Curly, kill anyone today?"
Palance (Curley) "Day ain't over yet."

......then there's Norman the calf............

They could find a secret map to Ms Janets gold that she buried out on the trail around Roan Mt.

I'm with you, that would be great duo!

[Nicksaari]

ill second that!

how about Bill Muray and Harold Ramis? youve got the whole Vankemen & Egon thing going there. haha!

"oh yeah, there is one more thing. dont cross the streams."
"why not?"
"because that would be very bad."

[the goat]

Failing that, I'd go with John Goodman and Steve Buscemi.

Kinda like "The Big Lebowski" goes hiking.

i'd go see that! we'd have to fit jeff bridges in there somewhere too.....

Of course, it wouldn't be the same without the Dude!

So it's probably not as much on life support as the title suggest. That's good to hear. If nothing else I'd like to see the movie come out and the panic about the crushing herd of hikers begin.

[Fiddleback]

I dunno...I quoted Redford's entire comments about 'A Walk...' If it was anywhere near done or even in production I would have expected a little more amplification. As it was, he referenced three competing projects and he referred to "A Walk...' as "a third..." As I posted in the OP, it's not much and not much to go on but I kinda got the feeling he really hasn't started on it yet despite IMDB (one of my fave sites).

and hearing every minute of the film being picked to the bone.
