But in the poster for a new movie about his stunt, _The Walk_, the iconic buildings seem to have been transplanted to Midtown. As [Vulture](http://www.vulture.com/2015/09/why-does-the-walks-poster-put-wtc-in-midtown.html) and [Untapped Cities](http://untappedcities.com/2015/09/17/movie-poster-for-the-walk-about-wtc-tight-roper-gets-geography-wrong/) have pointed out, the aerial view of the towers shows clearly that they are not located at their rightful home in the Financial District. First, the streets surrounding them fall on a tidy grid, typical of Midtown but not of the island’s southernmost tip, where streets tend to be more irregular. Second, the Hudson River, which is only a few blocks away from where the towers stood, is nowhere in sight. Third, a few Midtown landmarks are visible beside the base of the towers, including St. Patrick’s Cathedral and 30 Rockefeller Center, putting the World Trade Center around 50th Street and Fifth Avenue—about four miles away from the correct location. Stills from the movie itself do not seem to have relocated the landmark buildings, so it’s unclear why the advertising would do so. _The Walk_, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, opens in IMAX 3D on Wednesday, and in regular theaters on Oct. 9. \[[_Vulture_](http://www.vulture.com/2015/09/why-does-the-walks-poster-put-wtc-in-midtown.html)\] ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] People are asking me, why do you risk death for me? This is life. Welcome to New York. Anything to declare? I'm going to hang a high wire between the two towers of the World Trade Center and walk on it. Huh. Good luck. No matter where I was going or what I was doing I was always searching, looking for the perfect place to hang my wire. [ MUSIC ] Whoa. I need you to help me pull this off. I've got just the guys. Now it starts. Come on, make it snappy, I'm in a red zone. I'll figure out how to get the wire across. [ LAUGH ]! I think we should wait. No! This is extremely illegal, not to mention, dangerous. [ MUSIC ] My head is full of doubts. When it's time to step on the wire, I don't know if I'll be able to take my first step. Your heart will tell you what to do. [ MUSIC ] The man is obviously crazy. Are we just here to watch him die? [ MUSIC ] This isn't a game Felipe. One mistake out there, That you're going to die. [ NOISE ] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4055533/the-walk-movie-poster/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4055533/the-walk-movie-poster/"},"headline":"Can You Spot What's Wrong With the Poster for The Walk Movie?","datePublished":"2015-09-30T14:33:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:57:37.207Z","description":"Something's not quite right in the aerial view of Manhattan","url":"https://time.com/4055533/the-walk-movie-poster/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt829ac1792abf8983/69886627ab6d7735ac6a670c/the-walk.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt829ac1792abf8983/69886627ab6d7735ac6a670c/the-walk.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"the-walk","caption":"","creditText":"TriStar Pictures","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/4055533/the-walk-movie-poster/","name":"Can You Spot What's Wrong With the Poster for The Walk Movie?"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Walk Official Trailer","description":"2nd Official Trailer for The Walk.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/dx3uvbvR/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-04T18:02:52.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/dx3uvbvR.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4055533/the-walk-movie-poster/","duration":"PT2M39S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4055533/the-walk-movie-poster/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
