The new UK trailer has been unveiled for A Walk In The Woods; starring legendary actor Robert Redford as Bill Bryson himelf, based on the 1998 memoir of his 1000-mile long hike along the Appalachian Trail.
Upon Bryson’s arrival back in the United States after two decades in the UK, he wants to find a way to reconnect with his homeland. Itching for an adventure, he decides to hike a section of the longest continuous footpath in the world, The Appalachian Trail. This is an expedition men half his age struggle to complete – and with his wife (Emma Thompson) having refused him going at this alone, he sets out to persuade any of his friends to accompany him. Unsuccessful to get anyone on board; his old buddy calls him out of the blue, offering to join Bryson on his adventure. A crude, overweight, recovering alcoholic and thoroughly unsuitable, Katz (Nick Nolte) joins Bryson’s journey.
They begin on their adventure, encountering weird and wonderful characters and face hilarious trials and tribulations along the way. The men persevere and together they learn that some roads are better left untravelled….
