THE COUNSELLLOR (Cast News)


  • THE COUNSELLLOR

Cameron Diaz

The casting reports on The Counselor have been a parade of stars, from Michael Fassbender to Brad Pitt to Javier Bardem and many more. 

The “many more” notably includes Angelina Jolie, who was either looking at the female lead or a smaller role to fit around her Maleficent schedule, depending on which report you read. 

The latest from Twitch says dark horse candidate Cameron Diaz swooped in and landed the role of Malkina that Jolie was after. 

The script by Cormac McCarthy (author of The Road and No Country for Old Men) centers on an attorney (Fassbender) who teams with Reiner (Bardem) to sell $20 million worth of cocaine.  The Playlist describes Malkina as “a hyper-sexualized Argentinean woman who’s hooked up with Reiner… a meaty part.”

Production on The Counselor is scheduled to begin in June.
