Robert Redford Returns to Comedy
Robert Redford is back with a comedy.
The 79-year-old has produced and starred in "A Walk in the Woods", a film based on Bill Bryson's novel by the same name.
He spent 12 years making this movie.
He says he has a lot of reasons to be drawn in by the story:
"One I love nature and nature was going to be the third character in the film so that was very appealing. The fact that it was a comedy because I hadn't done comedy since 'Barefoot in the Park' and I love comedy. But there's also another element of pathos to it because it was about friendship. It was about friendship that had been lost and now is regained through this experience."
The adventure comedy tells the story of a rekindled friendship of two retired buddies who decide to hike the Appalachian Trail.
Actor and producer Nick Nolte co-stars in the film.
"A Walk in the Woods" opens in U.S. theatres next Wednesday.
