'Triple Frontier' Casts Tom Hanks for Lead Role

Triple Frontier is Kathryn Bigelow's follow up to the critical acclaimed film, Hurt Locker.  The plot of the movie has yet to be disclosed, but one can guess it centers around the Triple Frontier which is the tri-border area between Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil.  The Triple Frontier is known for organized crime and illicit activities.

Today, the film's producer Charles Roven confirmed Tom Hanks' involvement by stating, "Tom Hanks is starring in the film, and we're still looking to cast the other roles. We're hoping to start shooting the movie sometime in mid-March."

Triple Frontier will also be written by Hurt Locker co-writer Mark Boal.  I'm personally really excited about this one.  Should be a gritty, authentic film that Hurt Locker was known for.  Katheryn Bigelow also directed Point Break in 1991 but has been constantly overlooked and some people in the industry are claiming it is due to sexism for directors in the film industry.  This would explain why it took her even this long to get a film rolling despite the fact that Hurt Locker won an Oscar for Best Picture.
