Robert Redford and Sam Elliott? Robert Redford and Julie Christie? Robert Redford and Nick Nolte? Robert Redford and Susan Sarandon? About time.
Who is this movie for? Different times Bobby. Wake up. your era is over.
This is a moronic comment. Redford’s `era’, and his great 70s movies, were about questioning political systems, moral complexity, and questions of integrity. This `era’ of remakes and franchises and dumbed down blockbusters could use a lot more of that.
Wake up. There’s more to movies then corporate cynicism and shallow entertainment.
stellar cast
Redford’s great. Looking forward to this. And any opportunity to see Julie Christie is one worth taking! Am I right or am I right?
Redford and Sarandon were paired once before: “The Great Waldo Pepper,” back in the 70s.
Hope she doesn’t go out on a wing for his character in this one….
I wish/hope it was shot on film. People underestimate how essential that film look is in people’s assessment of those legendary 70′s films. INSTANT mood creation.
