IFC has just announced it has picked up rights to the ridiculous, unintentionally funny attempted thriller “The Ledge,” in which Charlie Hunnam plays a hotel manager who spends the entire movie standing on the ledge of a tall building telling his life story (cue flashbacks) to a cop (Terrence Howard) who has just found out his kids are not his kids, but at least his wife was kind enough to sleep with his brother so the kids would resemble him. IFC, which reportedly paid “low seven figures,” is a sort of last-resort dumping ground for poor movies; typically it puts dim little failed art-housers like this one on one screen (its swanky mini-multiplex on lower Sixth Avenue– the quality of the digs are heartbreakingly out of alignment with the quality of most of the films shown there) and releases them on demand to small grosses. I reviewed “The Ledge” here.

Deadline Hollywood is reporting, hilariously, that buyers consider the film “a kindred spirit to ‘Blue Valentine.'” Um, no. Not even close.
