| Robert Redford and Nick Nolte team up for ‘Walk in the Woods’ Posted: 04 Jun 2011 07:03 AM PDT
Also announced, Nick Nolte (Tropic Thunder) is attached to play Bryson's friend, Stephen, a cranky, crude companion and reformed substance abuser who accompanies him on the trek. The amusing tale follows two middle-aged men's attempt to get fit on a challenging and sometimes dangerous misadventure, as well as a plea to conserve the wilderness. Originally, Redford (picture) planned on producing the project in 2005, according to Collider.com, along with Paul Newman, reuniting the pair after the legendary Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Directors Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) and Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Bugsy) were previously mentioned for the project. Levinson is currently scheduled to direct Gotti: Three Generations with John Travolta and Al Pacino. Redford's recent film, The Conspirator, starring Robin Wright (State of Play), James McAvoy (X-Men: First Class) and Tom Wilkinson (Duplicity) concerned the assassination trial of Abraham Lincoln. He last directed and starred in 2007's Lions for Lambs starring Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise. Also in April, it was reported that Redford would co-star in a film about African-American baseball player, Jackie Robinson. – AFP Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |

She had already postponed five shows under doctor's orders, but while resting in Los Angeles she saw a specialist "who determined it was imperative that she take the next few weeks to recover with absolute voice rest." The 23-year-old (picture), known for powerful love songs including "Someone Like You," had been due to resume the sold-out tour in San Francisco today, but has now cancelled the remaining nine dates. "I'm really frustrated. I was hoping with a week's rest I'd be better to sing again straight away. However, there is absolutely nothing I can do but take the doctors advice and rest some more," she said in a statement on her website. "I'm so sorry. See you soon, love Adele." Adele said plans to reschedule the cancelled dates were being considered, and more information would be given when available. – AFP Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
