Triple Frontier, a project that has been in development since 2010, has gone through multiple permutations and crew members, seemingly being back on track or cancelled completely each month. But it might finally have some legs under it.
The crime drama was originally intended to be Kathryn Bigelow‘s follow-up to The Hurt Locker, again written by former journalist Mark Boal. Bigelow and Boal both moved on to other projects after Paramount deemed the production costs for Triple Frontier to be too expensive, and they instead brought on J.C. Chandor to direct.
Johnny Depp was originally in line to star, but that didn’t work out. In January of last year it looked as if things were finally moving in the right direction when Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy were circling the starring roles, but three months later when they both dropped out alongside Paramount, the film fell apart.
The tale continued when in May, when it was reported that Netflix might come to rescue of Chandor’s film with brothers Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck in the lead roles. Then Ben dropped out, and it was back to the drawing board, with Mark Wahlberg touted as a potential replacement.
Phew. That all brings us to today, where THR reports that Ben Affleck is back in negotiations to star in the film – which is now apparently untitled – while Oscar Isaacs, Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund are all in talks for roles in what is now a Netflix Original movie.
The original title referred to the border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil which is known as one of the world’s most prominent spots for organised crime. Chandor has reportedly rewritten Boal’s original draft himself, and the story now focuses on five friends whose loyalties are tested when they reunite to take down a South American drug lord.
It looks as if the film finally has a chance to get made, and whatever your opinion is of Netflix Original films, at least they’re giving Chandor a chance to finally make his long-awaited follow up to A Most Violent Year. He had been in line to direct Deepwater Horizon, but left the project late over creative differences; the studio reportedly found his version too political for their tastes.
Whether this now-untitled crime drama will be any good is obviously yet to be seen, but film reporters everywhere will probably be ecstatic to hear that it will finally get made, thereby stopping the multi-year cascade of reporting the numerous cast and crew additions that inevitably seemed to be reversed months later.

must watch! Dah tgk semalam boleh la.. takde la wow sangat dah tengok. boleh lah. biasa2 je. cuma tak faham part ending tu. 5 juta tu duit yang diorang sempat bawa dalam 1 beg je kan lepas sorok kat gaung gunung tu. kiranya ada hundred millions lagi kan kat gaung tu biasa je...harap pelakon je wow..
best lagi fast and furious punya strategi.. baru tgk sekerat jalan aku dah boring...banyak cakap2 la..lambat benor action nya...last2 ngantuk..tutup je tv & tido..huhu! biasa ja. hrpkan actors gah ja.
better la narcos mexico. Hah bnyk tol negative response everywhere. Ai pon ngantuk tengok crita nih. Nanti ada masa review.
Just nak ckap Ben Affleck nih macam dah malas nak berlakon. So selayaknya dia duduk belakang tabir je. walaupun ben affleck mcm malas nk berlakon, tp lakonan die dlm citer ni aku rasa berkesan plak.lakonan someone yg dah putus harapan dan boring ngan hidup.charlie hunnam pun lakonan bersahaja tp aku rasa kena ngan watak die, diam-diam berisi.
rasenye citer ni ada sekuel ni. sbb diorg ada simpan koordinat duit2 tu kan. cuma camne diorg nk amek balik duit2 tu annehuda replied at 28-3-2019 08:48 AM

memang part facial expression Ben Affleck tuh menyakinkan...
for me tengok crita nih mainly cause of him...tapi bila dia punya watak yg slow & trus matikan his character
rasa cam tak best
part yg excited & detailed how the narcos kept the money & how they transmit it to another location
after that all scene is so draggy, esp combat scene cam tak fight sungguh
so thankful lah crita night tak jadi main Pat panggung
probably if now baca balik storyline, the main focus of character is 'Pope'
pasal sambungan tuh, maybe lah...writer nak kena cari further idea & plot
TRIVIA / SPOILER
Triple Frontier (2019)
The plot loosely follows the plot of the original Ocean's 11: members of a military unit, finding civilian life challenging, reunite to pull a heist; the heist is successful; they are hunted; one of their member dies; they ultimately lose the money, but they give what they have left to the ex-wife/family of their fallen comrade.
