He also hasThe Old Man and the Gunin pre-production, which reunites him withPete’s DragondirectorDavid Lowery, and also starsCasey AffleckandSissy Spacek. WhileRobert Redfordhas yet to confirm his retirement from acting, it’s possible thatOur Souls at Nightmay be one of the final performances of a storied career.
