Angelina Jolie to cameo in Ridley Scott's “Counselor”?April 11, 2012 - 16:38 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Ridley Scott's planned Cormac McCarthy narco-thriller, The Counselor, is rapidly heating up, so much so that Twentieth Century Fox is now in active discussions to distribute and possibly co-finance the movie, Vulture reported. On top of Michael Fassbender, who has previously been confirmed to star (which would mark his second collaboration with Scott following this summer's Prometheus), Angelina Jolie is in talks with Scott to take a small part. The film, based on an original script by McCarthy, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road and No Country for Old Men, is about a lawyer who wants to get just a little bit involved in the drug business. He then discovers that there's no such thing as a little bit involved in the drug business. Intriguingly, Disney announced earlier that Jolie's upcoming film Maleficent will be released in the United States on March 14, 2014 - almost two years from now. Scott plans to start filming The Counselor this June, while Maleficent doesn't start until late June or early July, theoretically leaving Jolie enough room for a cameo.
