Saw that it will premiere at Sundance. Robert Redford and Nick Nolte with Emma Tompson as Redfords wife. They are older than in the book and it looks to be as much a comedy as a hiking film much like the book. Could be fun.

Is this referring to the book "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson? Good book, then may also be a good movie.

well on paper ( here) this has a good pedigree good writing foundation and performers who can make this a good comedy hopefully without pandering or resorting to lowbrow humor.

I just read the book in anticipation of the movie. Could be funny. I'll probably catch it on netflix in 2 yrs. tongue.gif

Are hiking based films the new thing in Hollywood? I enjoy Bryson's writing. I assume he embellishes quite a bit, his writings are probably not completely factual, but they make for a good story. A movie adaptation should definitely emphasize the comical aspect of the story.
