The Walk Trailer

On 7th August, 1974, one man chose to walk a high-wire between the two buildings of the World Trade Centre. Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is an adrenaline junkie who loves to walk across the highest ropes he can, and coming from France to America shows him a new chance to start over, and break records. With the help of his team, he intends to set up something highly illegal and incredibly dangerous, to prove the possibilities mankind is capable of. But with this great feat set in motion, the question steadily begins to grow as to whether he will actually accomplish it.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis ('Back to the Future', 'The Polar Express') and written by Christopher Browne in his debut feature screenwriter role, 'The Walk' is the true story of Philippe Petit's walk between the Twin Towers in 1974. The film was announced in January 2014. Principle photography for the film began on 26th May, 2014 in Montreal, and continued until 6th August the same year. 'The Walk' is set to open at the New York Film Festival on 25th September 2015, before opening theatrically in the US on 2nd October 2015.
