Petit plans a return to the heights of New York

Following the Oscar win for the documentary Man on Wire, Phillipe Petit says that he plans his next tightrope walk this fall in an as-yet-undisclosed location in Manhattan. The secrecy surrounding Petit's preparations could result in the same surprise and astonishment from the public during his tightrope walk between the towers of the World Trade Center in 1974, as documented in the film.
