“The Dark Wizard” is about controversial climber and Base jumper Dean Potter — so, no, not that other Wizard named Potter who is also coming to HBO — who, in between death-defying feats on some of the world’s highest points, also battled his own demons. The influential climber died in 2015 in Yosemite Valley during a wingsuit flight gone wrong.
From highlining in China to wild free solo climbs, the docuseries directed by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen, “The Dark Wizard” tracks how one man’s self-destructive streak turned him into an international fascination — and perennial cheater of death.
