Elizabeth Banks in Man on a Ledge
Busy, busy Hollywood and more casting news for today!
Gorgeous Elizabeth Banks is reportedly joining Sam Worthington, Anthony Mackie and Jamie Bell in director Asger Leth‘s cop thriller, Man on a Ledge.
We previously reported that Julie & Julia star, Amy Adams was rumored to be up for the leading female role, but, as you see, Banks is a lucky winner.
Man on a Ledge is the story that begins when an ex-cop-turned-con threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop.
The NYPD dispatches a female police psychologist to talk him down but, unbeknownst to the cops on the scene, the suicide attempt is a cover for a massive diamond heist.
Worthington is set to play the cop, Bell will play Worthington's brother, who happens to be planning a heist of a jewelry store across the street while the cop threatens suicide, while Mackie will play his ex-partner.
Banks will be playing the NYPD crisis negotiator that tries to talk to the suicidal detective, who she has had a past relationship with.
The Man on a Ledge script is penned by Pablo Fenjves and the movie is being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Summit Entertainment.
Man On A Ledge begins filming November in New York.
