New IMAX Trailer For THE WALK Emphasizes The Danger
If you've seen James Marsh's Oscar-winning documentary Man on Wire, you already know the story of Philippe Petit, the French high-wire artist who did the unthinkable in 1974 when he organized a covert operation to walk on a wire between New York City's Twin Towers. But Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis is bringing the story to a much larger audience next month with The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit.
The film will be available to watch in IMAX 3D, and Zemeckis — a filmmaker with a love for the technical side of things — looks to be taking full advantage of the format as his camera zooms up and over the World Trade Center and captures Petit's precarious and legendary attempt. There's a brand new IMAX trailer that runs nearly five minutes, and if you haven't seen Man on Wire and are interested in seeing what this movie has to offer, it's a good mixture of the heist-style planning and execution of getting the wire across the buildings as well as the nail-biting tension of the walk itself. The Walk hits theaters on September 30th.
