Robert Redford and Nick Nolte were in their seventies when this movie was shot. The real Bill Bryson and Stephen Katz were forty-four the summer they attempted to hike the Appalachian Trail.
The book "A Walk in the Woods" was optioned in 1998 as a project to team Robert Redford and Paul Newman together for the third time. However, years of hurdles getting this movie made and Newman's declining health before his death in 2008 ended the potential Redford and Newman reunion. Newman was intended for the role of Stephen Katz.
The Appalachian Trail runs from Georgia to Maine and is over two thousand two hundred miles long. It passes through fourteen states and is maintained by volunteers and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
In the book they hear a noise outside their tent. They never actually confirmed it was a bear.
In the movie's trailer and on the poster, Bill Bryson and Stephen Katz stand at McAfee Knob, a popular Appalachian Trail destination near Catawba, Virginia. In real life, according to the book, Bryson and Katz left the trail in Tennessee and rejoined near Roanoke, Virginia. They never passed by McAfee Knob.
"Bill Bryson: [At night, when a female hiker is loudly singing, in an annoying tone, at a late hour] Tomorrow morning, we get up early, before she's awake, and we get a headstart, and lose her. Stephen Katz: That's a good idea. Better than my idea. Bill Bryson: What was your idea? Stephen Katz: We kill her, and steal her Pop Tarts."
"Bill Bryson: Writers don't retire. We either drink ourselves to death or blow our brains out. TV Host: What will it be for you? Bill Bryson: After this interview, probably both."
