A couple weeks ago it was revealed that Cormac McCarthy, the famed author of No Country For Old Men and The Road, had completed his frist film script. As expected it excited a lot of interest in Hollywood and now Ridley Scott has come running and Deadline reports he may well make it his next movie, after completing Prometheus.
The Counsellor is about a lawyer who foolishly thinks he can dabble in the drugs business without being pulled into the dark criminal world. However, he’s soon in a desperate situation and relying on his wits and legal smarts to survive.
Ridley likes to line up huge amount of potential projects, while only making a few of them. He currenty has options of all sorts of projects, but a script by McCarthy is a bit of a special case, so it’s believed he’s likely to push everything else aside to make it.
