I wasn’t thinking this is great material during the whole first three weeks I was thinking, I’m never going to get a book out of this, we might as well quit now.ĭes Moines, Iowa resident Matt Angerer revealed a decade ago that he is the real-life inspiration for Stephen Katz. The first few weeks we were together, I just wished he’d go home. Still, Bryson recently told The Australian that he fretted at the start that asking Katz along was a huge mistake. Ultimately, the pic is as equally buddy-focused as the book the mildly combative but familiar relationship between the men is what gives both their heart. Much of the humor in the memoir stems from the additional hardship that having a hiking companion even less prepared than Bryson was put on the trip - so as they say, names were changed to protect the somewhat innocent. So what does the actual Stephen Katz think about this movie version of A Walk In The Woods?Īs fans of the book and Bryson in general are well aware, the name "Katz" is a pseudonym. In the new independent comedy film based on the book, Robert Redford plays Bryson, while Nick Nolte plays Katz. In Bill Bryson's classic travel memoir, A Walk in the Woods, he recounts the tale of a trying hike on the Appalachian Trail with his grizzled, alcoholic buddy Stephen Katz. Sometimes (especially when I'm removing a particularly unflattering tag from a friend's Facebook photo), I wonder what it would be like to have someone else's interpretation of me end up on-screen somewhere.
