Ridley Scott Drafts Brad Pitt And Javier Bardem For ‘The Counselor,’ With Fox Circling

Back in February, Deadline revealed that Ridley Scott was aiming high for a nemesis to play alongside Michael Fassbender in The Counselor, with Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem on the wish list. I’m told now that Scott is on the verge of getting both actors into the movie. There are rumors swirling that Angelina Jolie is in discussions to play the female lead but that is less solidified. They’re all in talks for a film that starts production late June. Fox is negotiating to distribute, which was expected because of Scott Free’s first look deal that gave the studio first crack at the package. If all this works out, I can’t imagine Fox lets this one get away.

  1. Sounds like another exciting project for Brad (and possibly Angelina). He is making such interesting choices and working with such great artists. Hope it al works out. Just re-watched Thelma and Louise and hope we can get some updated shots of Brad’s abs.

  2. I just read this on google and had to come here for verification! :) Brad and Javier in the same movie…muy caliente! ;^)
