Sundance: "Man on Wire" walking to a deal, slowly

"Man on Wire" director James Marsh and the doc's subject, WTC tightrope walker Philippe Petit at a noon screening today.
Interest in the film has been steadily building all week from good word-of-mouth, made apparent by the number of buyers in this late screening, including Warner Independent and Picturehouse.
Submarine's Josh Braun, the film's sales rep, said offers are on the table and a deal is expected soon.

Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com.
