Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal Reunite for Triple Frontier
By Krystal Clark
After the such a positive critical response to their film The Hurt Locker, director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal will reunite for another project. According to Variety, the power pair have signed on to make the film Triple Frontier for Paramount. The feature is simply described as “a high-stakes ensemble project.”
Boal will pen the screenplay based on “the notorious border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil where the Igazu and Parana rivers converge — making “la triple frontera” difficult to monitor and a haven for organized crime.” Charles Roven (who apparently works on everything) will produce the film alongside Alex Gartner and Steve Alexander via their Atlas Entertainment company. Roven is looking to begin production within the next year.
Not only will Bigelow and Boal serve as director and writer for the film, but they will also executive produce. Nice coup for the desert pair. It appears that these two are sticking to what they know, war, violence, and overall conflict. To have a major studio have that much faith in your talent must speak volumes about their work on The Hurt Locker. I have yet to see it, but I do intend to at some point. It’s currently playing in limited release.
What do you think of Katherine and Mark reuniting for Triple Frontier?

During the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, former U.S. President George W. Bush Accused the Southern Cone countries (Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay) of harboring Islamic terrorists because of the large presence of Arab traders in the region. Were the accusations never proven, but now the director Kathryn Bigelow (the Oscar-winning “War on Terror”) rekindled the controversy by disclosing That has a script ready to shoot ‘Triple Frontier’ in the Triple Border Between the cities of Foz do Iguacu (Brazil), Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) and Puerto Iguazú (Argentina), divided by the Paraguay river and the river Iguaçu. What Is Certain Is That Will this project bring only the stereotypes Against Arabs living in this region, the typical American view of “saving the world,” war is nothing ‘holy’ Against Islam.
