Robert Zemeckis is remaking Man On Wire as a 3-D drama, maybe with Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Not content to let a great non-fictional story remain just that, Robert Zemeckis is working to adapt Man On Wire star Philippe Petit’s memoirs into a live-action 3-D movie. Zemeckis and Christopher Brown co-wrote the script for To Reach The Clouds, and rumors are swirling (like the winds around Philippe, when he walked between the Twin Towers in 1974) that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is interested in starring as Petit.
