Last month, I posted a little teaser trailer for Ridley Scott’s (director of Gladiator, Alien) new film The Counselor written by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, The Road), but this is the first official domestic look at the Fox 2000 production. With a loaded cast that includes Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, The Counselor will be McCarthy’s first effort as a screenplay writer and will be Scott’s first legitimate shot at an Oscar nomination in a long time.
Following the story of a lawyer turned drug smuggler who gets too deep in a dirty business, The Counselor will hopefully be the caliber of film that’ll turn some heads. Take a look at the trailer and see if you think this could be worthy of awards or whether it’ll just be a good romp.
The Counselor is directed by Ridley Scott, written by Cormac McCartney and stars Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. It hits theaters October 25.
