The new trailer provides dizzying views of tightrope walking and expands on the challenges Petit faced leading up to his walk. Though the film isn’t a _thriller_, per se, it is pretty nerve-wracking. “When people ask me, Why do you risk death, for me this is life,” Gordon-Levitt’s Petit explains. The only thing scarier than him potentially falling is, perhaps, his French accent. _The Walk_ hits theaters October 2. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3909548/joseph-gordon-levitt-the-walk/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3909548/joseph-gordon-levitt-the-walk/"},"headline":"You Might Get Vertigo Watching the Trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's The Walk","datePublished":"2015-06-04T19:22:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:55:49.439Z","description":"The Walk hits theaters October 2","url":"https://time.com/3909548/joseph-gordon-levitt-the-walk/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0a7423026ccf8040/69885314cd6848047a0a0314/the-walk.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"ashley Ross","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-ross/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0a7423026ccf8040/69885314cd6848047a0a0314/the-walk.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"the walk","caption":"the walk","creditText":"Official Trailer","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3909548/joseph-gordon-levitt-the-walk/","name":"You Might Get Vertigo Watching the Trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's The Walk"}}]}] ```
