New Featurette For THE WALK Shows Why IMAX 3D "Was The Reason to Make The Movie"

Early reviews have arrived for Robert Zemeckis' new film The Walk, which tells the astonishing true story of Philip Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a French tightrope walker who strung a wire between New York City's Twin Towers and attempted to walk across it with no safety net. Many of the reviews agree that the first two thirds of the movie are hit-or-miss, but once Zemeckis puts you up on the wire with Petit, it's a glorious experience. That's largely due to the film's presentation in IMAX 3D, and this new featurette shows why the director called the format "the reason to make the movie." Check it out below. The Walk opens in theaters tomorrow.

Philippe Petit, the famous high-wire artist who walked across the Twin Towers, and award-winning Director Robert Zemeckis discuss how IMAX 3D is perfect for the subject of the film and the best way to experience The Walk. See it early in IMAX 3D starting September 30. For more info.
