Liv Tyler heads for 'The Ledge'

Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson will star in suspense thriller The Ledge.

Terrence Howard and Charlie Hunnam are already among the cast for the project, which is written and directed by first-timer Matthew Chapman.

The story finds a man (Hunnam) standing on a high-rise ledge and threatening to jump by midday as a police officer (Howard) attempts to talk him down, says The Hollywood Reporter.

"The Ledge examines the different and sometimes dangerous beliefs people adopt as a means of surviving emotional trauma," said Chapman of his debut feature film.

Production on the movie kicked off on Monday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
