One upcoming project I'm very excited to check out is THE WALK, Robert Zemeckis' biopic about French high-wire artist Philippe Petit starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The actor recently posted an image of himself and co-star Charlotte Le Bon from the set of THE WALK, giving us a good look at Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the legendary daredevil.

Wait, how high up is this wire?!

Philippe Petit and his famous 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center were the subject of the excellent 2008 documentary MAN ON WIRE and I'm very interested in seeing how Zemeckis will handle Petit's extensive planning for the event, as well as the walk itself, of course.

THE WALK also stars Ben Kingsley, and it will open on October 2, 2015.
