On Wednesday, May 20, Black Bear hosted a special screening for Academy Award winner Daniel Roher’shighly anticipated narrative feature film debut, Tuner, at the AMC Lincoln Square in New York City.

While at the event, Hoffman, who plays Harry Horowitz in the film, reunited with the subject of another of his famous films. Hoffman, 88, posed with journalist Carl Bernstein, 82, whom he played in All the President's Men.

The political thriller, based on the 1974 nonfiction book by Bernstein and Bob Woodward, depicted the story of the two journalists (played by Robert Redford and Hoffman) who investigated the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and uncovered the sweeping cover-up that ultimately resulted in the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

Associate producer Michael Britton recently revisited the film on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Recalling the dynamic between Redford and Hoffman, he told Deadline, “It was tense at times, because Bob liked to go in fresh with the scene. Dustin wanted to try every different way to do a scene. So, they had very different styles. As a producer, [Redford] also had to be attuned to the amount of time things were taking.”

Both actors received immense acclaim for the film, though in a May 1976 interview with PEOPLE, Hoffman said he found the wave of gushing praise from critics "embarrassing," suggesting that their reviews have an air of self-importance.

Hoffman also praised his costar as "the hardest-working actor I've ever known" in the interview, stating, "Bob deserves this success," and asserting the film was "Redford's project all the way."

"It's no accident he's where he is," added Hoffman. "He sleeps four hours a night. He's a very strong individual."

Hoffman's career has gone on to include more classic films like Rain Man, Tootsie and Kramer vs. Kramer, as well as more accolades, including five Golden Globes and two Oscars. Redford died on Sept. 15, 2025, at his home in Utah.
