This one has gone through the wringer.
Hurt Locker scribe Mark Boal wrote Triple Frontier years ago for Katheryn Bigelow to helm, but it never fell into place. Then, the likes of Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Channing Tatum, and Tom Hardy all spent time circling the film, before incoming director J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) managed to lock down Ben Affleck, only for him to have to delay his involvement for a trip back to rehab.
Out and ready to work again, but having lost brother Casey and Moonlight‘s Mahershala Ali from his list of co-stars, the quest was on to find “the movie that refused to die” a new cast to support Phantoms bomb Affleck, as the project got a helpful leg up from Netflix.
Chandor somehow managed to snag Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund and Pedro Pascal between their hectic schedules, and Triple Frontier is now heading to the streaming giant in March, 2019.
In the upcoming flick, “a group of former Special Forces operatives reunite to plan a heist in a sparsely populated multi-border zone of South America. For the first time in their prestigious careers these unsung heroes undertake this dangerous mission for self instead of country. But when events take an unexpected turn and threaten to spiral out of control, their skills, their loyalties and their morals are pushed to a breaking point in an epic battle for survival.”
