Robert Redford Confirmed For J.C. Chandor's All Is Lost Redford is set to star in the gritty drama, which will center on one man's efforts to survive when left adrift at sea. There's no word yet on how this poor wretch—to be played by Redford—comes to such a terrifying predicament, but Deadline does offer a curious revelation, calling Redford "the sole castmember" of All is Lost. Does this mean Chandor is actually jumping from a fast-paced ensemble drama to an inevitably slow-paced, singularly set solo-piece? filed under: Robert Redford
Robert Redford May Star In All Is Lost, Margin Call Director's Next Film All Is Lost is described as a "man vs. nature" story and will be set "on the water."

Stephen Root Reteaming With Robert Redford In The Company You Keep I have a deep respect for character actors and Stephen Root is one that exists in the upper echelon. A guy doesn't keep getting roles in Coen brothers movies unless he has serious skills and Root most definitely does. It doesn't sound like his role in this project will be too big - my guess is that he shelters Redford's character at one point in the story - but you know that he'll make the most of it. filed under: Robert Redford
Julie Christie, Susan Sarandon And Richard Jenkins Cast In Robert Redford's Next The Weather Underground, a group very active in the late 1960s and throughout the 70s, represented something like the darker side of hippie culture, using violent action and inflammatory rhetoric to protest the Vietnam War and various other social issues, including racism and sexism filed under: Robert Redford
