Corona | Coming Attractions

One of the producers of this film has confirmed that Tom Hanks is signed to star in the movie. "We're still looking to cast the other roles," Charles Roven told Coming Soon. "We're hoping to start shooting the movie sometime in mid-March."

Hot on the heels of Tom Hanks' interest in starring in the film, now comes word that Johnny Depp is also thinking about taking Sleeping Dogs as his next job after Pirates of the Caribbean 4 finishes up. 

Tom Hanks could star in Sleeping Dogs, the new title for what was once called Triple Frontier months ago. Hanks is interested in one of five central parts in what's going to be an ensemble movie. The action is still set in central South America on the borderlands between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Director Kathryn Bigelow is scouting locations in the region now and wants to call action on the set early in 2011.

The Hurt Locker director and writer will collaborate again on their next project, an action-adventure film with the title of Triple Frontier. Story details are being kept under wraps but the action takes place in the zone where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay come together along with the Igazu and Parana rivers. The region is heavily forested and remote, making it an ideal spot for organized crime to make their headquarters away from too many eyeballs. The producers are hoping for a 2010 start of production.
