Kathryn Bigelow is looking to fill her next film with big talent, and apparently Tom Hanks is a likely candidate. Deadline has word
that the Oscar winner and most-loved man in Hollywood is considering
taking, though he’s not a sure thing. Tom Hanks currently has his own Larry Crowne on his slate, as well as a flick with Sandra Bullock. The Bigelow film, now titled Sleeping Dogs according to MTV,
is set to shoot soon, so I’m sure there are scheduling considerations
to be worked out. There are also apparently four other large roles to be
filled that we’ll likely hear something about soon.
I’ve
written about Kathryn Bigelow’s next project a number of times, and
while the previous articles are apparently buried to deep for Google to
dig up, I’ve always been very intrigued by the locale it is set in. The
“Triple Frontier” is the border between Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina
and is a haven for the black market, terrorism, and underground
militias. While the organized crime element and dangerous nature of the
location are interesting enough to power a film, there has also been a
lot of mysterious United States activity in the area, including a
shadowy military base that little is known about. Considering how vague
the details have been, I still suspect there might be more to this
script than just a organized crime story. I’m still waiting for story
details to emerge and confirm my hunch, or blast it away.
The danger inherent in the area has driven filmmakers out of town before –from what I understand, Miami Vice
moved production after finding security too lax in the area– it will
be interesting to see how Bigelow manages this hostile territory, and
who she convinces to do it with her.

I was really hoping this would be about how someone edited Tom Hanks into every scene of The Hurt Locker. Just hanging out, throwing out a line every once in a while.
Who wrote this? Is it Boal again? Cuz that'd be good.
I do not believe they accepted the script of this film. For those who do not know, after the attacks of September 2011, the U.S., with the excuse that there were terrorists at the border of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil have sent their troops to Paraguay. There have been several investigations for several years and no clue was found. But the troops remain there. Soon do exactly what they did with the Arab countries, with the excuse that there were weapons of mass destruction, invaded the country, killed several innocent people and steal oil. The weapons of mass destruction were never found (because there is no weapon). 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. They want to present ourselves to the world as people unable to take care of their own heritage, villains. While the Americans unleashed (with a huge U.S. flag), will be the heroes of history. 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 biggest polluters.
Everyone talks about the sadness of the assassination attempt by the U.S. in 2001. Nobody talks about the years (many years) of suffering that has caused the U.S. to Arab countries. Surely more people died in war than in the attack.
Today, they speak of the Arab people as if they were all bandits, there are people who honestly work in these countries, there is no single terrorist. As in the U.S. there is also plenty of people who do not pay. The triple border there are people of Arab descent, yes, but honestly work from sunrise to sunset.
do not believe that they accepted the script of this film. For those who do not know, after the attacks of September 2001, the U.S., with the excuse that the tri-border area was a haven for terrorists, sent troops into Paraguay. The U.S. has for years investigated the border of three countries and found no indication of terrorism. But even so the troops Americans remain in Paraguay. I hope that does not happen to our people, what happened to the Arab people. Where, with the excuse that there were weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. invaded and killed several innocent people and steal oil. The weapons of mass destruction were never found (obviously, there were no weapons of mass destruction, this was just an excuse to invade the Arab countries, steal their wealth). Our natural heritage is being threatened, and our people are believing that this movie will bring benefits. The Iguaçu is the largest freshwater reserve in the world. The U.S., through the movie, we will present to the world as villains (as they did with the Arab peoples). The American soldiers are the heroes of history. The world will have a distorted image of our people. The U.S. goal is to show that we are unable to take care of our own heritage. Just as Amazon is on our territory, but not mentioning us as heirs of this heritage through books, the United States.
We do not need help from Americans to take care of our heritage. The Americans are the biggest terrorists declared war with the sole purpose of stealing the riches of other countries. Are unable to control the waste generated at home are the biggest polluters of the planet.
Everybody talks about the attack of September 11, 2001. But they forget to tell the other side of the story for several years (many years) the U.S. has caused suffering to the peoples of the Arab countries. Certainly more people have died in war than in the attack.
Today, they speak of the Arab people, as if they were all bandits, there are people who work honestly, regardless of race and color.
