After being in one of Sony Pictures' most daring movies, "The Walk" cast led by Joseph Gordon-Levitt plunge into a game of "Would You Rather?" with Mashable.
During question and answer sessions with Mashable's Yohana Desta, Gordon-Levitt bravely faced questions that would determine how they would rather be in certain situations.
Among the "would they rather" questions include the difficult choices of being extremely hot or cold; surviving underwater or in outer space; and live without music or without television.
The main cast including Charlotte Le Bon, James Badge Dale, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt mostly provided straight forward answers while Ben Schwartz made it a point to clarify the situation in detail before giving his answer.
Now playing in selected theaters globally, "The Walk" received a wide array of reviews covering both sides of the spectrum.
In fact, Screen Rant described the flick as "an entertaining and often thrilling piece of storytelling," also citing the state-of-the-art 3D filming the film's makers displayed.
Written and directed by Robert Zemeckis, "The Walk" is the second movie adaptation of the amazing experience of testing your limits and not daring to look down.
It follows the story of Philippe Petit, a French street artist who discovers his obsession with the tightrope which he develops with the help of his mentor Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley).
While he initially decided to give up his extremely dangerous hobby, Petit then sees an image of the World Trade Center while in the middle of its construction and experiences an epiphany of a dream to walk on a tightrope between the two tallest skyscrapers of the world.
The film, which is based on Petit's true-to-life story which he shared via his books "To Reach the Clouds," stars Gordon-Levitt in the lead role alongside Charlotte Le Bon as Philippe's fellow artist and lover, Annie Allix.
According to a review posted in Mashable, Sony's reinvention of the 2008 documentary "Man on Wire" appeared to be a disappointment during its first two acts.
"One moment it's all circusy mischief, with forced perspective and vibrant colors against black and white; the next, it's a serious character study, but one that only scratches the surface of why Petit wanted to traverse the World Trade Center towers in the first place," it read.
However, Screen Rant sees this as a brilliant play of 'Petit's fast-moving and colorful world,' with the added bonus of the amazing execution of the story's climax: Petit's Twin Tower walk.
