Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s new movie The Walk is making movie-goers throw up.
The Walk centers around the true story of Philippe Petit, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and his infamous 1974 tightrope walk between the Twin Towers. According to GQ, during the press screening numerous viewers experienced vertigo. Apparently a 3D, 20-minute tightrope scene set 1,362 feet above ground is making people want to throw up.
Reports of guys vomiting in the Alice Tully men’s rm post-The Walk: True. Witnessed it/came close. Bad visual trigger for vertigo sufferers.

With several people describing feelings of dizziness, extreme anxiety, and nausea, director Robert Zemeckis is pretty excited. “[The goal] was to evoke the feeling of vertigo. We worked really hard to put the audience up on those towers and on the wire,” Zemeckis said.
