Joseph Gordon-Levitt walks on a tightrope in this
latest trailer for Academy Award Winning director, Robert Zemeckis' The Walk.
The high-wire drama follows Philippe Petit's (Gordon-Levitt) planning and
execution of his walking across the rooftops of New York City's World Trade
Center towers.
The story is a well-documented one. There is plenty of
footage, news articles, documentaries, and one Oscar appearance that take way
the tension of whether Petit managed to cross it or not, so to keep audiences
on the edge of their seats Zemeckis is focusing on the planning of the daring
stunt.
Also starring Charlotte Le Bon, , Ben Kingsley, James Badge
Dale, Ben Schwartz, Clément Sibony, and César Domboy, The Walk opens on
September 30th (limited) and October 9th (wide).
Twelve people have
walked on the moon, but only one man has ever, or will ever, walk in the
immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Guided by his
real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), and aided by an unlikely band of
international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals,
dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad
plan. Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as Forrest Gump,
Cast Away, Back to the Future, Polar Express and Flight, again uses cutting
edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story.
With innovative photorealistic techniques and IMAX 3D wizardry, The
Walk is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally
experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film is a love letter to
Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the Towers of the
World Trade Center.
