Ben Affleck and Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street, Magic Mike) left the film and Paramount pulled out.
The Triple Frontier film has actually been trying to get off the ground for almost a decade.
At one time eyed to be director Kathryn Bigelow’s follow-up to her Academy Award-winning The Hurt Locker, Triple Frontier was written by that film’s Mark Boal.
Affleck has been in talks for the role since then.
