Netflix is looking to secure director J.C. Chandor's Triple Frontier and wants Ben and Casey Affleck to star.

According to Deadline, nothing has been set in stone yet, but the popular streaming service appears to be the most promising home for the project. In the event the film does go to Netflix, Ben and Casey Affleck will be offered lead roles to star alongside Mahershala Ali.

This past year, Ali earned the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the Academy Award-winning film Moonlight, and Casey Affleck earned the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in Manchester by the Sea.

Triple Frontier, scripted by Mark Boal and produced by Charles Roven and Alex Gartner, is an organized crime thriller set in the border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. Paramount was previously attached to the project, as well as Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy, but all dropped out four weeks before the start of production.
