Robert: It was closer to 10 yes. The Company You Keep [another film which co-starred Redford and Nolte] was like five years ago. So a lot of years went by [A Walk in the Woods] came to be. I was really passionate about what I thought it was worth. It was a wonderful story with wonderful characters. It had elements that I thought were real important like the role of nature and human beings’ relationship with nature.

Nick: Do you know how rare that is [to do a project 10 years later]? It’s about as rare as you can get. There are so many ways [a project] can fall apart.
So many movies are made for younger audiences and you managed to make an entertaining movie for older audiences [which is not common in the current Hollywood system].

Robert: Thank you for that. Do you want to go on the road with us [laughing]? It’s kind of hard to talk about. It felt like this film could have some appeal with an underserved audience out there – older people who had given up on films because it’s gone the way of youth, special effects and all that, which is fine. [Big budget movies are now made] at the expense of story and character and not dependent on special effects and green screen. [Older audiences] have sort of been disenfranchised.

TV now seems to be catering to underserved audiences more now than before. Do you have any comments on that?

Robert: I don’t watch television so I don’t think I can.

Nick: Well I can [laughs]. We’re about to start a series, Graves. It starts soon. [Graves is scheduled to air on Epix in 2016.] It’s about an ex-president of the United States and Susan Sarandon is my wife. It’s very funny and satirical. We’re going to [shoot] in Santa Fe.

Robert: Oh really?

Nick: Yeah.

Robert: I have a place there.
