Tension’s high in this new trailer for The Counselor. Directed by Ridley Scott (Prometheus) and written by best-selling author Cormac McCarthy, the film is about an attorney played by Michael Fassbender (Shame) linking up with a drug dealer (Javier Bardem) to sell $20m of cocaine. The Counselor also stars Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt, and Penelope Cruz. McCarthy, who’s written No Country for Old Men and The Road, is making his screenwriting debut with The Counselor. The director and writer duo should make for a good film, and with the big names starring in the film, The Counselor might be something special when it comes out on October 25th.
