It has been announced that Joseph Gordon-Levitt could play Philippe Petit in To Reach The Clouds.
Petit, who gained fame for his illegal high-wire walk between the Twin Towers in New York in 1974, had his story visualized in Man On Wire, the 2008 BAFTA-winning documentary by James Marsh.
According to reports, Gordon-Levitt will star in Richard Zemickis’ adaptation of Petit’s 2002 memoir and that plans should be progressing quickly.
The 32-year-old actor will next be seen on screen in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and is producing a film based on Neil Gaiman’s Sandman stories.
