The cast for Man On A Ledge is growing, with Anthony Mackie and Jamie Bell both signing up to star alongside the previously cast Sam Worthington. Variety has the news, saying both actors are now in final negotiations for the movie.
The Asgar Leth directed drama, sees Worthington as a former NYPD officer, who threatens to jump from a ledge and kill himself, while a female psychologist attempt to stop him.
However, while both Bell and Mackie have roles in the film, at the moment it’s unclear who Mackie will play, although Deadline says Bell will portray the brother of Worthington’s character, ‘who happens to be planning a heist of a jewelry store across the street while the cop threatens suicide’. However it’s difficult to imagine the proximity of the crime is just a coincidence.
Shooting begins in New York in November, by which time they’ll have hopefully found a female lead. Amay Adams is rumoured for the role, but as yet there’s no deal in place.
