NEWYORKCITY– Taking a well-deserved one more turn around the block, the legendary Burt Reynolds was at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival representing his new film “Dog Years,” directed by Adam Rifkin, and co-starring Chevy Chase and Ariel Winter. The director and three stars were joined on the Red Carpet by festival co-founder Robert De Niro.
“Dog Years” is semi-autobiographical for Reynolds, as he portrays an 80 year old actor who was once one of the biggest stars in movie history. Attending a Nashville film festival retrospective, he is assigned a reticent escort/driver (Winter), and they end up taking a road trip to Knoxville for one last hurrah. The film uses archival footage of Reynold’s actual film career.
