Ridley Scott has added a few more to The Counselor including a villain and a possibly leading lady.
According to Deadline, the director of the Cormac McCarthy written screenplay is looking at Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem and wants to have both actors in the film in some capacity if not the bad guy. Michael Fassbender is set to star as the lead and there are new rumors that Angelina Jolie is in negotiations to take on the female lead.
Scott will start on this project when Prometheus is finished. It's being produced by the same people that adapted McCarthy's novel The Road. In this new story that sold very quickly, Fassbender plays a lawyer who attempts to try out the drug business. Little does he know that there is no such thing as just dipping a toe into the business of selling drugs.
