Legendary filmmaker
Ridley Scott and Pulitzer Prize winning author Cormac McCarthy (“No Country for
Old Men”) have joined forces in the motion picture thriller “The Counselor,”
starring Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, and
Brad Pitt. McCarthy, making his screenwriting debut and Scott interweave
the author’s characteristic wit and dark humor with a nightmarish scenario, in
which a respected lawyer’s one-time dalliance with an illegal business deal
spirals out of control.
“The Counselor” is a cautionary tale about mistakenly tempting fate.
Rounding off this tale are people who get involved in something they should
have stayed out but are eventually lured into a world where immense amount of
cash can be quickly handed in a very dangerous way.
Revealed are the latest online character posters of “The Counselors” assembled
to portray unforgettable characters – damaged goods yet attractive who have all
ducked in unexpected moments of thrill and humor.
Michael Fassbender is simply known as The Counselor tempted to try for once an
illegal way of amassing a large amount of money instantly. Although he’s
received numerous warnings about the potential dangers of getting into this
deal, his blind arrogance deafened him of those warnings.
Laura, played by Penélope Cruz is the fiancée of The Counselor. Laura is
a beautiful woman whom The Counselor prizes the most. Her intelligence
and foresight – and her love for The Counselor – are no match for his descent
into the rabbit hole, and they both face tragic consequences if the deal he has
made with unseen, powerful forces, goes south.
Javier Bardem takes on the colorful character of Reiner, a nightclub owner who
brought The Counselor into the shady deal. Reiner straddles two worlds:
the extravagant and decadent realm of a nightclub owner, and the brutal,
lawless and merciless criminal underworld that is rapidly closing in on The
Counselor, and on Reiner. Reiner appears to possess special insight into
The Counselor’s increasingly dire circumstances, but he’s just as much a
potential victim of a life he little understands.
Malkina, the toughest and probably the darkest of characters who surrounds The
Counselor is played by no other than Cameron Diaz. As Reiner’s malevolent
girlfriend, Malkina’s drive is to take control and possess anything she
believes she deserves.
Brad Pitt rounds up the cirque of intrigue with his portrayal of Westray, a
philosophizing and shady middleman whose warnings to The Counselor about the
dangers of a world he seeks to enter go unheeded. Handsome, charming and
witty, Westray is also an unapologetic womanizer.
“The Counselor” will open November 15 in cinemas from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner
Bros.
