Michael Fassbender cast in The Counselor. Michael Fassbender’s casting in Ridley Scott‘s The Counselor (2013) answers the question of who will play the lead role in the Cormac McCarthy scripted film. Michael Fassbender will be playing a lawyer in the drama, thriller movie. “The protagonist is a respected lawyer who thinks he can dip a toe in to the drug business without getting sucked down. It is a bad decision and he tries his best to survive it and get out of a desperate situation.” The Counselor is said to be “reminiscent of the rough-and-tumble world depicted in the Oscar-winning adaptation of McCarthy’s novel No Country For Old Men.”
On the quality of The Counselor screenplay from producer Steve Schwartz:
Since McCarthy himself wrote the script, we get his own muscular prose directly, with its sexual obsessions. It’s a masculine world into which, unusually, two women intrude to play leading roles. »
