- THE COUNSELLOR
 |
| Michael Fassbender |
Ridley Scott's upcoming film, The Counselor, has locked its
star. Deadline reports that Michael Fassbender will take the leading role in
the Cormac McCarthy penned-screenplay.
McCarthy, known for the novels-turned-films, All the Pretty
Horses, No Country for Old Men and The Road, wrote The Counselor specifically
for the screen. It tells of a present-day Southwest lawyer who gets in over his
head in the drug trade.
The article notes that Scott is currently looking for an
equally high-profile talent to play the film's villain and is eyeing a shoot to
begin this May.
Fassbender is coming off a busy 2011 and already appeared in
this year's Haywire. He can soon be seen on the big screen again in Scott's
Prometheus.
He's also expected to reprise his role as Magneto in an
upcoming sequel to last year's X-Men: First Class.
There are so many great names associated with this film - I am very excited. I admire the work of each of these artists
