A Walk in the Woods is a film starring Robert Redford, based on the 1998 book, A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail, by Bill Bryson. The film was announced in 2005, and is scheduled for release in 2009.
Plot
The book is an embellished and comic version of a real-life attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail by Bryson and his companion Matt Angerer (under the pseudonym, Stephen Katz). The hikers, both out of shape, complete a total of 500 miles after much struggle and misadventure. Later, Bryson undertakes smaller hikes with and without Angerer, to somewhat greater success.
