(I'm just now finishing up right now for the second time, actually.) But- Robert Redford playing Bill Bryson!? What? Bryson has to get a howl outta this. The writer's overtly self-depricating nature contradicts being portrayed by one of America's lasting sex symbols, right? What about Richard Dreyfus, Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Tom Wilkinson? Robert Redford? I love ‘A Walk in the Woods!’ (I’m just now finishing up right now for the second time, actually.)

He seems like such a good guy from the interviews I've read. His books are fantastic and I would like to see this materialize into a movie.

A Walk In the Woods is one of my favorite books. I've give about 6 copies of it to people as gifts and have read it a bunch of times. If they do a good job translating this to the screen it will be a great movie. I really hope they can pull this off. A Walk In the Woods is one of my favorite books.

In the interviews that I've seen with Bryson, he has a charming, avuncular quality that makes you feel like your grandfather or favorite uncle is just sitting you down and spinning tales from his youth. It sounds like it's a done deal too. If you look up Barry Levinson's name on IMDB.com, you can see that <em>A Walk in the Woods</em> is listed as being in "pre-production". Definitely!

I adore Bryson's books, and I do wonder how well that would translate to the screen ... I'd love to have Bryson himself narrate it or something, he has such a relaxing, enjoyable voice to listen to, I still hear it every time I read any of his books. Wow, I really hope this gets made.
