Back in 1974, Petit succeeded in walking a tightrope between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, and in 2008, the Oscar-winning documentary Man on Wire showcased that gravity-defying feat once again.
In the new The Walk trailer -- directed by Back to the Future's Robet Zemeckis -- JGL is seen towering on top of one of the skyscrapers taking in the sights before he steps out onto the edge of the 110-story building.
