It could have reunited Newman and Redford for the first time since 'The Sting.'
The Big Picture Unlike many stars from the New Hollywood era, Robert Redford didn’t peak in the 1960s and ‘70s. While he’s certainly best associated with films like Three Days of the Condor, Jeremiah Johnson, Downhill Racer, and The Candidate, that doesn’t mean that he hasn’t stayed active in the decades that followed.
Katz is the role that Redford and director Ken Kwapis had intended for Newman, who passed away in 2008. Redford decided to move forward with the film, and Katz ended up being played by Nick Nolte. The film debuted at Redford’s Sundance Film Festival in 2015 before it was acquired by Broad Green Pictures, and while it’s great that this inspiring story was told, it’s a little bit sad to not see Newman involved.
While it’s easy to feel melancholy when watching A Walk in the Woods and imagining what Newman would have added to it, the film itself is still absolutely delightful. It provided Nolte with the chance to give a grungy, yet surprisingly charismatic performance that is atypical of his general work. It’s clearly a role that was engineered with Newman in mind.
