Paramount is reportedly eyeing on Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy to star in the upcoming action thriller "Triple Frontier." Sources claim the two stars are almost confirming, and they just need to fix their overloaded schedule.
It seems that "Triple Frontier" is almost closing its deals with its targeted lead actors. Sources told Variety that the studio has been expressing its desire to cast in Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy for more than a month now and it seems that the contract is almost near to signing. The two stars just need to iron out some schedule issues and they can soon proceed with filming.
Early last year, there were already talks about casting in "Black Mass" star Johnny Depp for the lead role of "Triple Frontier." In an earlier report from Variety, it was revealed that the actor has also shown interest in joining the movie especially when Johnny Depp has seen the script when it was then under the director Kathryn Bigelow.
The other actors who were also considered to do the project were Tom Hanks and Will Smith. Unfortunately, the latter has begged off as he was busy with his film "Collateral Beauty."
Reports have not revealed why things did not turn out well with the previously tapped actors. However, what's important is the latest update which seems to confirm Channing Tatum's and Tom Hardy's casting.
Tom Hardy is soon coming with his mini-series titled "Taboo," where he is doing the lead role and co-creating at the same time. "Taboo" consists of eight episodes and is scheduled to premiere on Jan. 10 on FX.
Furthermore, Hardy's hands seemed to be full as he is also reportedly doing another project aside from his mini-series. Hardy will also be busy this summer with a new project team up with "The Dark Knight Rises" Christopher Nolan in "Dunkirk," Comingsoon reported.
On the other hand, Channing Tatum is coming out with his latest movie "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" from 20th Century Fox. Fans have seen him from his previous movie "Hail, Caesar!"
Considering the heaps of projects for the two stars Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy, the pressing question now is if the two stars will be able to fix their full schedule and find time to film "Triple Frontier." Do you think it is possible to cast the two stars now?
