Jose Padilha Teams "Gran Torino" Writer "Tri-Border" Thriller
Brazilian filmmaker is already set to direct the RoboCop reboot of gestation time, but eventually José Padilha has another project on your list in the future. Heat Vision Elite Squad reports the director is fixed at the helm of a thriller stars writer Nick Schenk Gran Torino.
Called triple border, the film was shot in English, takes place in the lawless zone trisected infamous South America Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, where criminal organizations and the forces of competition law to the struggle for control. Surprisingly, this has nothing to do with Kathryn Bigelow Triple Frontera, dealing with the same configuration.The history of the Tri-Border as Boston-based DEA agent, who is unwillingly sent to Paraguay by the senator's son arrested for drugs during the raid. The script will examine the pros and cons of criminal law enforcement agencies and the tri-border area, as an agent trying to figure out how the site works in order to catch their return ticket home, which is a hustler. Padilha also said:
"The idea is to make a political film hidden action film, the film can entertain and teach people the tri-and transnational crime in general. This is a different reality, a completely different around the border of three countries where there is a wide range of actors, ranging from Italian, Chinese, and the Serbian mafia, drug traffickers from Bolivia, Colombia and Brazil, including traffickers suspected of helping Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah, as well as the police and politicians corrupt, Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. "
Padilha and Schenk visited the research in this film. Schenk says: "How can you write something about the tri-border region will never see in person? I have learned, Landlocked Paraguay has a fleet. I also learned that the Brazilian federal police and the exchange Paraguayan Navy General gunshot to the river, which separates the two countries. " Sounds like quite strong, but I wonder if this has any effect on the draft Kathryn Bigelow others. In this moment he is engaged, anonymous Osama Bin Laden / Seal Team Six films, so who knows what will happen. However, all the good things I heard the elite team, I think Padilha is the name to watch, especially in Robocop.
