《拆彈專家》女導演欲聯手湯姆漢克斯

When we last heard about the next project from Academy Award winning director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker), A-list actor Tom Hanks was being sought to possibly join the project. At the time, it seemed like the project known as Triple Frontier would be changing its title to Sleeping Dogs instead. While a recent ComingSoon interview with producer Charles Roven didn't clear up the confusion, it was officially revealed that Hanks is officially signed on to the project. Roven said, "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."

As for the title, apparently Roven referred to the project as Triple Frontier throughout the interview, but for those involved with the project, the original title often sticks in their minds even if it happens to change down the road. One thing that hasn't changed is the gritty story which is a high-stakes ensemble project that is set in the notorious border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil (" la triple frontera"), an area that is difficult to monitor and a haven for organized crime. Hanks has one of two major lead roles in a story that will follow five different men of various ages working in the hostile area. Rumors have previously mentioned names like Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Will Smith, but those actors are on every film's wishlist. Stay tuned for more. Do you like the sound of Tom Hanks in a film like this?

女導演凱瑟琳-畢格羅憑藉去年的《拆彈專家》成爲奧斯卡史上第一位獲得“最佳導演獎”，而她接下來的計劃是與一線男星湯姆-漢克斯的合作。有消息稱，這部原本名爲《三不管地帶》的影片將跟名爲《沉睡之犬》，製作人查爾斯-羅文在接受採訪是並未對此作出評論，而是證實了湯姆-漢克斯已經真是與片方簽約的事實。他說：“他湯姆-漢克斯簽約之後，我們還在爲其他的角色尋找演員，預計電影將於明年三月中旬開機。”電影主要將是了位於巴拉圭、阿根提與巴西國界處的臭名昭著的“三不管地帶”，這個地帶被稱爲“犯罪的天堂”，湯姆-漢克斯將是電影中兩位主角之一，與另外五個有年紀不盡相同的角色在地敵對區域所工作。而業界所盛傳的人選包括了約翰尼-德普、克里斯蒂安貝爾和威爾史密斯，不過這些男星都是搶手的“熱山芋”，能否將之彙集在一部影片之中還不得而知。
