One of the infamous films at Sundance this year was Matthew Chapman‘s The Ledge, starring Liv Tyler, Charlie Hunnam, Patrick Wilson and Terrence Howard. Our own Dan Mecca reviewed it, giving it a big ole F-grade and saying it was “the kind of baffling mistake that ends careers.” You can read his whole vitriol-fueled analysis here, but we know have a trailer to give us a visual preview of the disaster. And boy, was he right on the money. Check out the trailer below via Yahoo, along with an international poster.
Synopsis:
Gavin, a young college professor, has stepped out onto the ledge of a high-rise building, determined to jump. However, a detective, who has recently suffered his own tragedy, is sent to talk Gavin down. And as the detective and the professor discuss the circumstances that have brought them to the brink of suicide, they’ll need to convince each other that life is worth living.
The Ledge hits theaters June 29th, 2011 via IFC Films.
Do you think the trailer looks bad? Will you see the film?
