The Counselor is one of my most anticipated movies this year. Having read the script I can tell you that it will either be amazing or it will be absolutely awful. The latest trailer doesn't really help me with determining which one of those it will be, but it looks like they kept some of the best parts of the script in the film.
The film, written by Cormac McCarthy and directed by Ridley Scott, revolves around a lawyer (Michael Fassbender) who gets himself and his fiance Laura (Penelope Cruz) mixed up with some really ruthless people. The film also features Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt and Cameron Diaz in what will probably be an unforgettable performance, or at the very least - unforgettable character.
The film opens in US on October 25th.
I've been very bad. Man, that looks good. W/ the new trailers for Thor and Her, the fall will be a fucking good season. That's party time for me.
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait to see if Ridley did his magic and elevated the script to something awesome in movie form.
DeleteThis looks great. I think Cameron Diaz might be the actor to watch for, but nonetheless this film has a strong cast. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!
ReplyDeleteDiaz has an amazing character here, but I'm not entirely sure if she is right for the part.
DeleteLooks incredible...but that hair and tan on Javier Bardem. My eyes can't erase that! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah he does look very eccentric!
DeleteHis hair is definitely making its presence known in every movie! :D
DeleteIndeed, he probably has most memorable hairstyles among working actors :)
DeleteWow cant wait to check that out, looks amazing and I want to get a giant Jaguar to keep around my pool.
ReplyDeleteThere are two jaguars, which is even more badass :)
DeleteThe cast looks great, but the trailer didn't quite get me pumped for the movie.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's missing something but I don't know what it is.
DeleteI hope it's amazing, and I'm crossing my fingers that Diaz finally gets an Oscar nomination. It'd also be nice for Ridley Scott to have a hit with the Academy again.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Academy will like the film overall, the source material is really messed up, but Diaz may have a shot at nomination for sure.
DeleteMy god, I cannot wait for this movie. Definitely one of my most anticipated as well.
ReplyDeleteI really hope it's good, the ideas in the script are great but they need some flashing out, hopefully Scott did his magic here.
DeleteCormac McCarthy, Ridley Scott, and Michael Fassbender?? What a combination. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteAnd Javier :) Javier is always great! :)
DeleteI am hoping this is good. I need a big screen Fassbender fix and something to balance his role 12 Years a Slave (certain to be a not so nice character).
ReplyDeleteI heard his character in 12YaS is horrible, he isn't exactly Mr. Perfect here either, but he is definitely one of the nicer character in the story.
DeleteHIGH, HIGH hopes for this one. Everything looks like it could be great. Let's hope it delivers.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, it really can go either way.
