Harness or no harness, I imagine filming for hours on end on a freaking ledge must be scary even for those with nerves of steel. Sam Worthington spent a few hours on a ledge filming Man On A Ledge and then spent some time on street level trying to beat the snot out of Ed Harris.

This of course is happening in one of the greatest cities in the world:  New York.  The film also features Kyra Sedgwick (in photos) and Elizabeth Banks (also shown in photos).  Imdb describes the movie as being about:

An ex-cop turned con threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The NYPD dispatch a female police psychologist to talk him down. However, unbeknownst to the police on the scene, the suicide attempt is a cover for the biggest diamond heist ever pulled.

That actually sounds pretty intriguing, doesn’t it? The movie is set for release sometime in 2012.
