By: Macon Prickett Mar. 19, 2018
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ben Affleck and Oscar Issac are in negotiations to topline the project formerly known as Triple Frontier, the long-in-the-works crime drama that is now in pre-production at Netflix.
J.C. Chandor will direct picture that will begin shooting March 26 in locales such as Hawaii, California and Colombia.
Triple Frontier is the border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, which is known as one of the world's largest havens for organized crime. Chandor wrote the script working off the drafts by Mark Boal. The project has been around since the 2000s when it was developed as a directing vehicle for Kathryn Bigelow. The project has always been a magnet for talent, and actors such as Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp have been associated with it.
The story now centers on five friends whose loyalties are tested when they reunite to take down a South American drug lord, unleashing a chain of unintended consequences.
