Will Smith, Christian Bale in Bigelow's 'Triple Frontier'

What do you when you just won the Oscar for Best Director, and what do you do when you're still one of the world's biggest movie stars? If you're Kathryn Bigelow and Will Smith, you find a way to work together. This is really quite a story. The Wrap received a memo with a bunch of new Paramount productions, although we'll focus on this one. Anyway, a rep from the studio told The Wrap some of the stuff in the memo is accurate and some isn't. But that could be studio speak - they like to deny everything - and it could be that some of the many deals listed in the memo haven't been sealed, so the studio can't actually comment on them. As for this project, it's Triple Frontier, the same Bigelow-Mark Boal movie with Javier Bardem and Sean Penn that sprouted up a while ago. However, Denzel Washington is no longer in line for it. Smith and Christian Bale are the new names on board. Damn good cast. Damn good. Here's what we wrote about the project when it was announced in April: "The title refers to the dangerous region between Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, which is rife with organized crime, drug traffic, and even terrorist activity." So you can probably visualize a multilingual Traffic kind of thing here. It's believed Bigelow will try to use the same jarring, immediate cinematographic style she employed in The Hurt Locker. Getting director of photography Barry Ackroyd back will probably help, although he's not listed for this just yet. He is, however, lensing The Miraculous Year, Bigelow's upcoming HBO project, so that's probably a good sign.

I do not believe they accepted the script of this film. After the attacks of September 2011, the U.S., with the excuse that terrorism has on the border of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, began investigating the area, already has troops in alliance with Paraguay and Argentina. Soon do exactly what they did with the Arab countries, with the excuse that there were weapons of mass destruction, invaded and stole the oil and just never found the weapons. We are threatened, and there are people who think the best damn record this movie in our natural heritage. The Iguaçu is the largest freshwater reserve in the world, so the U.S. to save the movie, send troops. Brazil opens the eye, they are wanting our wealth.

We do not need help from Americans to take care of our heritage. For, they are the greatest terrorist in the world and also major polluters.

Damn usurpers.
