With director Asger Leth’s (Ghosts of Cité Soleil) Man on a Ledge opening this weekend, I recently got to speak with most of the cast about making the movie. The film centers on an ex-cop (Sam Worthington) convicted of a crime he didn’t commit who stands on the ledge of a Manhattan building, threatening to kill himself. However, what appears to be a suicide attempt is something else altogether. The film also stars Jamie Bell, Anthony Mackie, Elizabeth Banks, Ed Burns, Titus Welliver, Genesis Rodriguez, Kyra Sedgwick, and Ed Harris.
During my interview with Banks we talked about how she got involved in Man on a Ledge, what kind of research she typically does for a role, and karaoke. In addition, we talked about how instrumental Jack Donaghy was in freeing her from North Korea and hints that she may be the assassin that killed Kim Jong Il (it’s a 30 Rock thing). Hit the jump to watch.
Finally, if you missed my video interviews with Anthony Mackie or Edward Burns click the links.

really no hunger games questions ?
She is there to promote Man on a Ledge…
your point is?
collider always asked the actor about future or upcoming projects
Yeah, sometimes more than the actual project there supposed to be discussing.
What’s the point in asking about Hunger Games? She’ll say the same thing you can find in anyother interview. Plus, she’ll be promoting that movie in like a month or so. No point in bringing it up.
Maybe there was a ‘no hunger games questions’ limitation and Steve didn’t want to waste his precious interview time.
Man on a ledge will need all the promotion it can get.
