First, it was Wyatt McGuire and Joe McMaster.
Now, Robert Redford and Paul Newman?
Redford and Newman, who comprise one of the most famous acting duos in film history, are planning to reunite for one final movie, according to Times Online. Redford is negotiating for the movie rights to Bill Bryson’s non-fiction book “A Walk in the Woods,” which chronicles the author’s attempted thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, the 2,175-mile footpath from Georgia to Maine.
According to Times Online, the 67-year-old Redford would take the role of the author, while 80-year-old Newman would play his friend. Redford and Newman starred in the blockbusters “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” in 1969 and “The Sting” in 1973.
“That might be something for Paul Newman and me, if we’re not too old,” Redford told Times Online about “A Walk in the Woods.” Added Redford: “That’s if Paul can hang on long enough and we can get him on the Appalachian Trail before he gets into a wheelchair.”
