The Walk Teaser Trailer starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt
In the “rooftopping” craze of recent years spawned by amateur videos of Russian daredevil teenagers
In the “rooftopping” craze of recent years spawned by amateur videos of Russian daredevil teenagers and their death-defying stunts atop various abandoned skyscrapers, Oscar-winning director of Back to the Future Robert Zemeckis’ newest film takes a look at the man who arguably started it all 40 years ago. Titled The Walk, the film follows the exploits of French high-wire artist Philippe Petit in the lead-up to his now infamous and highly-publicized attempt at walking a steel cable strung between the Twin Towers of New York’s World Trade Center, over 100 stories above ground. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ben Kingsley, The Walk will be released in cinemas in October 2015.
