Tatum, Hardy circling “Triple Frontier”

Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy are in early talks to star in Paramount's action thriller “Triple Frontier”, reports Variety.

Sources indicate the deals are still being worked out as scheduling conflicts are issues for all parties involved. The studio has shown interest in the two actors since last month and while conversations have progressed, it's far from being a done deal for both.

JC Chandor is on board to direct the film, which Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are producing.

The film is set in the notorious border zone between Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil where the Iguazu and Parana rivers converge — making “la triple frontera” difficult to monitor and a haven for organized crime.

Hardy can be seen next in FX's “Taboo”.

Tatum was most recently seen in the Coen Brothers' “Hail, Caesar!” and just wrapped production on “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” and Steven Soderbergh's “Logan Lucky”.
