The Walk

Watch this heartstopping trailer for The Walk, a new film from Robert Zemeckis, director of Back to the Future, Forrest Gump and Castaway. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars at Phillipe Petit, a french dare-devil who attempted to tightrope walk between the twin towers in 1974. It's the same story that featured in the Academy Award winning documentary Man on Wire in 2008. Part biopic, part heist movie, the trailer for The Walk is exhilarating, let's hope the film is too.
