            J.C. Chandor (Margin Call, A Most Violent Year) has been one of the most underrated directors in Hollywood over the last five years or so and has worked with tons of great actors on his projects. Now it seems he’s adding some high-profile names to his next movie as well. According to Indiewire, Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum are in talks to join Chandor’s next action/thriller Triple Frontier.

            Triple Frontier takes place in a border zone where the Iguazu and Parana rivers cross between Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. The area is known to have tons of organized crime while also being hard to govern. This sounds a lot like that scene in Sicario, if you haven’t seen that fantastic movie, go see it and you’ll know what I’m talking about but these two actors are great talents and if they sign on it could be incredibly intriguing. Indiewire also reports that the feature will be a large ensemble similar to Chandor’s previous film Margin Call.

            Tatum is set to star in another ensemble film, Logan Lucky that will be directed by Steven Soderbergh. He’ll also have a role in the highly-anticipated sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. As for Hardy, his new television series, Taboo starts on FX on January 10^th and he also has a role in Christopher Nolan’s WWII drama, Dunkirk.
