Redford and Newman mull film reunion

Robert Redford may soon be reunited on screen with Paul Newman but don’t expect a sequel to “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” or “The Sting,” which paired one of Hollywood’s most popular double acts three decades ago.

“All these years went by and nobody came up with any ideas that were anything but corny and kind of low grade, so we just decided probably that wasn’t going to happen,” Redford said.

“But now there’s something rolling around that we’re talking about, and the real question is whether he can remember his lines or not,” the 68-year-old Redford said in a dig at Newman, who turned 80 this year.

Redford said he was superstitious about discussing details of projects that were not finalized. “I think Paul and I are probably alike in that we’re reluctant to talk about something that is not real yet, but we are talking about it,” he told reporters in New York while promoting his new film, “An Unfinished Life.”
