Variety.com — Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund, Pedro Pascal and Adria Arjona are starring in J.C. Chandor’s crime thriller, the long-in-development project known as “Triple Frontier.”
Netflix announced Monday that the currently untitled project begins shooting March 26 in Hawaii. It will also shoot in California and Colombia.
The film will be set in South America as five friends reunite to take down a drug lord, unleashing a chain of unintended consequences.
Chandor, whose credits include “All is Lost” and “A Most Violent Year,” will shoot from a script that he rewrote from Mark Boal. Boal’s credits include “Zero Dark Thirty” and “The Hurt Locker.”
Producers are Charles Roven, Alex Gartner and Andy Horwitz for Atlas Entertainment. Executive producers are Thomas Hayslip, Neal Dodson and Anna Gerb.
The project has been in development since 2010. The “Triple Frontier” title comes from the notorious border zone between Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil where the Iguazu and Parana rivers converge — making the area difficult to monitor and a haven for organized crime.
Actors such as Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Channing Tatum, and Mahershala Ali have been tied to the project at various points, and Kathryn Bigelow was initially attached as the director. Netflix took over the project last year from Paramount.
On March 15th Charlie was spotted shirtless (Yes, you read correctly. Shirtless. Is it Christmas already? 😉 ) on the beach in Hawaii with his upcoming co-stars Garrett Hedlund, Ben Affleck, and Oscar Issac. The guys are in Hawaii prepping their next project a Netflix movie, Triple Frontier, an action-adventure flick set in the border zone between Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. The film is reportedly set to begin filming this May and wrap up in September.
In the photos below the guys can be seen snorkeling, body boarding and of course our guy Charlie, who if you didn’t know is a jujitsu fanatic, was also photographed taking down his good friend Garrett in the ocean (and the sand) for an impromptu wrestling session that basically leaves you wondering: Is this real life? Seriously, these photos are fantastic.

HollywoodReporter.com — Charlie Hunnam is also boarding the adaptation of the infamous book by James Frey.
Billy Bob Thornton, Blade Runner 2049 actress Carla Juri and Charlie Hunnam have joined Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the adaptation of A Million Little Pieces.
Sam Taylor-Johnson, who directed 2015’s Fifty Shades of Grey, is behind the camera for the adaptation of the James Frey best-seller that is being financed by Brad Weston’s Makeready Films.
Weston is producing along with The Picture Company partners Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman.
The book was for years set up at Warner Bros. but husband-and-wife team Taylor-Johnson extricated it. The book became controversial after Frey was exposed for inventing or embellishing parts of the story that was originally dubbed a memoir.
Frey wrote about a young man, ostensibly himself, who awakens on an airplane to Chicago, with no recollection of his injuries or of how he ended up on the plane. He then heads to a rehab and begins his journey to sobriety.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the man at the center of the story with Thornton playing a mafia boss whom he meets at a recovery clinic and becomes a lifeline.
Juri is playing the movie’s female leads, a crack and heroin addict who falls in love with the man.
Hunnam will play Frey’s brother.
Thornton is coming off a Golden Globe win for this work in TV’s Goliath; the Globe was his second after his acclaimed work in season one of FXs Fargo. He is repped by WME, Media Talent Group and Myman Greenspan.
In addition to Blade Runner, Juri recently starred as the title character in Dear Agnes. She is repped by UTA, Anonymous Content and Independent Talent Group.
