The Counsellor: First Look

Posted by Grey Thursday, July 4, 2013

From the acclaimed writer of The Road and No Country For Old Men Cormac McCarthy and celebrated British film-maker Ridley Scott comes this star-studded thriller that is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films in the rest of 2013. The Daily Zombies takes a First Look at The Counselor with the release of the first trailer by 20th Century Fox.

For The Counsellor, an upcoming thriller set to be released on October 25th, 2013, there are incidentally a set of interesting factors that are ramping up the anticipation to the film.

Firstly, it is directed by Ridley Scott, the celebrated British film-maker who diverse talents brought us sci-fi epic like 1979's Alien and 1982's Blade Runner, 2000's Oscar-winning Gladiator, and most recently, Prometheus.

Secondly, the film featured a stellar cast with up-and-coming star Michael Fassbender taking the lead role as the eponymous counsellor while both Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem took on supporting antagonists role with Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz rounding out the cast.

And last but quite likely most importantly, the script was written by Pulitzer Award-winning novelist and playwright Cormac McCarthy who happens to be one of the most respected writers by us here at The Daily Zombies for his critically acclaimed novel, The Road. On the strength of that fact alone, The Counsellor is already getting its very own exposure.

With the film's impending release date getting closer on the horizon, 20th Century Fox has released the first teaser trailer of the film, giving us a glimpse at what appears to be yet another crime epic in the vein of No Country For Old Men.
