Michael Fassbender
Since No Country For Old Men author Cormac McCarthy sold his first spec script to Hollywood a few weeks ago, the project, titled The Counselor, has been on the fast track – and that’s putting it mildly.
It didn’t take long before Blade Runner and Alien filmmaker Ridley Scott signed on to direct and today AICN reports that acclaimed actor Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class, Shame) is attached to the lead.
The Counselor is about a lawyer who thinks he can dip his toe in the drug business without consequences and soon finds himself in way over his head. AICN also claims that Jeremy Renner, Brad Pitt, and Bradley Cooper are in talks to play the villain. Principal photography on the film starts May 1st.
