Could Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt be teaming on Ridley Scott’s “The Counselor” before they work on “Twelve Years A Slave”? If everything shakes out, that could very well be the case.
Deadline reports the Pitt, Jeremy Renner and Javier Bardem are circling the villain the same role in the upcoming Cormac McCarthy-penned film. Earlier this week Fassbender got locked in for the film at which time there was word that several “high-profile actors” were being sought. And this certainly seems to be the case. The script is said to be an amped up “No Country For Old Men”-esque tale that follows a lawyer who naively gets involved in the drug trade and finds himself caught up in a desperate situation. While Deadline says the role is the villain, that’s not quite accurate. If the part is what we think it is, the actors are circling the role of Reiner, a criminal who along with his girlfriend Malkina featuring in another strand of the story — but that’s about all we can say without spoiling it. The latter is one of two female leads that also need to be cast.
Following numerous US-based critics’ citations, Emmanuel Lubezki’s work on Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life has earned him the American Society of Cinematographers’ Award at the ASC’s 26th annual awards. The ceremony was held Sunday night at the Hollywood and Highland Grand Ballroom in Los Angeles.
An Oscar nominee for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Cinematography, The Tree of Life is a complex family drama starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain. The film marked the second time the Mexican-born Lubezki took home the ASC Award; he had previously won for Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men (2006). An earlier ASC nomination for Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999) preceded Lubezki two victories.
The organization of Cinema for Peace award again outstanding films that are directed against human rights abuses, war and genocide, and awarded Jolie for her film In The Land Of Blood And Honey.
Thanks Gabriella. It’s very adorable to watch Brad outbid Angelina at an auction moment later on in the video. So do watch it.
I know I have been promising it months ago but believe me; updating the media section of SimplyBrad.com is the most labor intensive and time consuming part of maintaining this website. A joy cause I get to watch Brad in every vid I own, but yea, also a pain to code all the pages and edit the files etc.
I have now opened the Public Appearances section again, until 2009 so far. Will let you know when more pages have been added. Enjoy! Huge thanks to Sue, my video buddy <3

Brad Pitt was paired up with his Moneyball costar Jonah Hill at today’s Oscar nominee luncheon. Brad teased that he met someone by the name of “Jorge” Clooney at the event, and it seems Mr. Pitt always has the last laugh at least when it comes to pranking Jonah. See the two stars banter about their on-set antics in this video from the luncheon.
