Fresh from Prometheus, Ridley Scott has enlisted Michael Fassbender for his new film.

 

The Counselor, written by Cormac McCarthy, who also wrote No Country for Old Men, centres on a successful lawyer who dabbles deeper than is wise in the shady world of the drug business. As a result, he finds himself in terrible danger. 

 

Set to commence shooting next month, the film will also star Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
