Joseph Gordon-Levitt conquers fear of heights in The Walk trailer

An exhilirating trailer for a new movie entitled The Walk starring Joseph Gordon Levitt. Based on the true story about French high-wire artist Philippe Petit's book "To Reach the Clouds." October 2015 will have us holding to our seats with this movie from Robert Zemeckis. I personally am curious and worried how will I watch this on 3D. But this is a movie to overcome fear of heights.

A young dreamer dared the impossible: an illegal wire walk between the World Trade Center towers. Last August 7, 2014 is the 40th anniversary of the astounding event, now being brought back to vivid life in the third act climax of the film.

Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man has ever, or will ever, walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), and aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan.

Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as “Forrest Gump,” “Cast Away,” “Back to The Future,” “The Polar Express” and “Flight,” again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. With innovative photorealistic techniques and IMAX 3D wizardry, “The Walk” is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the Towers of the World Trade Center. Watch the trailer here:
