Robert Redford & Cate Blanchett Star in New Movie: Truth
We’ve seen him as a con-man in The Sting, a heart throb in The Way We Were, and a comic book villain in Captain America: The Winter Solider; but premiering this fall, Academy alum Robert Redford is taking on a new role with co-star Cate Blanchett in the movie Truth. The biopic follows the controversial resignation of 60 Minutes host Dan Rather (Redford) and show producer Mary Mapes (Blanchett) in the “Rathergate” scandal.
Redford continues to cultivate new projects, with nearly ten new films in the works this year alone, adding to his list of more than 300 film and television credits (and 28 awards) to date. For this two-time Academy Award winner, it goes without question: Redford is one of the most powerful actors and talented director/producers in the industry.
He didn’t climb to that status overnight, and he surely didn’t by playing it safe and settling for parts only within his comfort zone. In fact, Redford once said with a humbling nod to The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, “You’re only as good as you dare to be bad. The Academy gave me this freedom.” And with risks come the sweet rewards: The luxury of hand-picking his next projects, or in Redford’s case, the flexibility to produce his own.
Redford continues to motivate us with his leadership and passion for the arts through his work at The Redford Center and Sundance Institute. He is encouraging us with a “call to action” as creative beings to simply be unselfish and impact the community around us with our talents.
You’ve truly exemplified the power of the actor’s craft, Mr. Redford. We are honored to be a part of your inspiring journey and wish you much more continued success.
