Channing Tatum is lining up a new drug cartel themed movie named Bloodlines. This one sound particularly awesome as it is based on Melissa Del Bosque’s upcoming novel of the same name, so reports Variety.
Here’s the synopsis:
Drugs, money, cartels: this is what FBI rookie Scott Lawson expected when he was sent to the border town of Laredo, but instead, he’s desk-bound writing intelligence reports about the drug war. Then, one day, Lawson is asked to check out an anonymous tip: a horse was sold at an Oklahoma auction house for a record-topping price, and the buyer was Miguel Treviño, one of the leaders of the Zetas, Mexico’s most brutal drug cartel. The source suggested that Treviño was laundering money through American quarter horse racing. If this was true, it offered a rookie like Lawson the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the cartel. Lawson teams up with a more experienced agent, Alma Perez, and, taking on impossible odds, sets out to take down one of the world’s most fearsome drug lords.
Jonathan Herman (Straight Outta Compton) will write the script for the film, but currently there’s no director attached.
