- THE COUNSELLOR
 |
| Penelope Cruz |
Though production is set to begin soon, director Ridley
Scott isn’t finished adding top-shelf talent to his next film, The
Counselor. So far, Michael Fassbender,
Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie are in varying stages of signing
on to the drama, and now Oscar winner Penelope Cruz is apparently eyeing a
role.
Fassbender is set as the lead in the Cormac
McCarthy-scripted project that centers on a respected lawyer who thinks he can
dip his toe in the cocaine business without getting sucked down. He teams up with a rich acquaintance (Bardem)
for the new business that also brings in the shady type (Pitt).
THR reports, Cruz would play Fassbender’s love interest in
the pic. There was talk that Jolie was
also circling the female lead, but other reports had her pegged for a smaller
role given her tight schedule (she shoots Maleficent in June). No official offer has been extended to Cruz,
but she’s already entered talks to the part.
