Are they going to film it and release it as another doc? If so, it should be titled:

Man on W2re

This makes me nervous. The movie was great. Why can't he just go out on a high note?

I liked Man on Wire, but I gotta say, this guy seems equal parts cool and "want to punch in the face" annoying. I bet he toally sucks the air right out of the room.

He's still an agile guy, more agile than guys his age will ever be, but no. Just no. This won't end well.

How can I be worried for someone I just saw in a documentary once?

Ha, when I saw this in the NYT, my first thought was "Someone at Gawker must know where this is going to happen. They should tell us, so that I can find the optimal viewing point and CAMP OUT THERE ALL SUMMER."

@happymisanthrope: Think how crazy New Yorkers go over a stupid movie in Bryant Park - this is going to require a sophisticated military-level operation. Do you have a machete and some water-purification tablets you can bring?

@Mary Mouse: But he was on Letterman a few years ago and walked across Broadway (on a wire, I mean), and presumably he had been on the guest lineup for a little while, and I don't remember pandemonium.

Though I guess going from the Ed Sullivan Theater to Flash Dancers isn't as big a deal as ... whatever he may be planning now.

Hard to imagine a more dramatic stunt involving a wire than the recording of Eliot Spitzer grunting about how hot the hooker proposed for his tryst is.

@mathnet: Agreed, this fills me with sadness. Why try to supplement something that's already perfect?

@Astigmatism: The only way he could "top" his 1974 stunt is if he walked fell. PLEASE. DON'T. DO IT.
