José Padilha Patrols The Tri-Border

Dirctor José Padilha is teaming with Gran Torino writer Nick Schenk on an English-language political action film called "Tri-Border" says Heat Vision.



The film is set against the infamous lawless South American zone trisected by Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, where competing crime organizations and law enforcement agencies fight for the upper hand.

The story follows a Boston-based Drug Enforcement Administration agent who is unwillingly sent to Paraguay for having busted the son of an US senator during a drug raid.

The film will explore the ins-and-outs of the different crime organizations and law enforcement agencies in the area, as the agent strives to understand how the place works in order to capture his ticket back home - a leading drug dealer.

The hope is for the script to be finished by the end of August.

This isn't to be confused with "Triple Frontier," a project that Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) that was in development until she decided to start concentrating on Kill bin Laden instead.
