We're gonna take really careful steps now more than 400 metres up in the air. In 1974, the French high wire artist Philip Petit carried out a long-held but clandestine plan to walk without any safety harness between what had been,until 1973, the tallest buildings in the world, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York. The walk is not, as you might imagine, a feature version of the Oscar-winning documentary Man on Wire. Both films are actually drawn from the same source - Petit's memoir, but they take very different routes where the documentary was interview-based with archive photos only of the walk. The film uses the latest in 3D and green-screen cinematography to lift the audience up there, above the 104th floor, too vertiginous for some watchers as proving and as Rober Zemeckis explained, his film has come seven years after James Marshall's dock because its ambition eluded the logic of the moneymen.
"It's virtually impossible to get a movie made that isn't what we call a pre-sold title. So it wasn't based on a comic book or it wasn't a sequel. So, yeah, it's very difficult to get a movie that, for lack of a better word, is an original idea. So it's all risky version. What's happened is the corporate version of gambling has superseded what used to be the showman version of gambling. It's all gambling, but now it's done with endless spreadsheets and research and valuing the movie over international territories and it's just actually become incredibly boring." |
