First Trailer for Robert Zemeckis' THE WALK Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt

The Walk is based on the true story of Philippe Petit, who in 1974 illegally walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. It is directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit. The trailer has no dialog and simply has Gordon-Levitt stepping to the edge of one of the Twin Towers. With Zemeckis' great visual eye and Gordon-Levitt's acting the whole things is pretty riveting. I can't wait to see more.

Synopsis:

The Walk is the true story of a young dreamer, Philippe Petit, and a band of unlikely recruits who together achieve the impossible: an illegal wire walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. With little more than nerve and blind ambition, Petit and his ragtag crew overcome daunting physical obstacles, betrayals, countless close calls and overwhelming odds to beat the system and execute their mad plan.

Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley, Charlotte Le Bon, and James Badge Dale.

The Walk will open in theaters October 2nd, 2015 (USA).
