That's a horrid trailer. I've seen the wonderful documentary on this event (Man on Wire), and I'm not sure why we now need a drama about it shot in 3D.

Completey agreed, the trailer looks pathetic. Hopefully Zemeckis has something up his sleeve with this movie because it's underwhelming at this point

Good God---why is this not more widely known?! Okay, granted: it was 40+ years ago now...

But nevermind that Hollywood bullsh*t; where's some actual footage?

have to agree also.. I too have seen the documentary and I didn't think there was enough depth to it or any reason to dramatize it into a full fledged movie let alone shoot it in 3D? Meh.
