Here ’s the first trailer for The Walk , the 2015 movie about Philippe Petit , the man who tight Mexican valium walk between the two World Trade Center tug in 1974 . My breadbasket just dropped a little bit .
The film is take aim by Robert Zemeckis and star Joseph Gordon - Levitt as the dare wire Zimmer . The story may sound familiar to you , one , because it ’s a very famous tale . And two , because it was the focus of theexcellent 2008 documentaryMan on Wire .
Man on Wire : How One Man Walked on a Tightrope Between the Twin Towers
It ’s a spellbind history — the World Trade Center was scantily undetermined when Petit walked on his wire , and he had to cabbage into the building to illegally order the wire between the two structures . He made it ! The real - life footage of the exploit , which you may see in the documentary , is unlikely . I look forward to seeing how it translates to a Hollywood version , and if conjuring trick like IMAX and three-D can help the dizzying spectacle live up to the fantastic documentary film . The Walk opens October 2 , 2015 .
