We’ve been keeping you posted with updates regarding Ridley Scott’s (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) next film, The Counselor, which was written by Cormac McCarthy.  Today, some exciting casting rumors have surfaced!

Deadline reports:

Back in February, Deadline revealed that Ridley Scott was aiming high for a nemesis to play alongside Michael Fassbender in The Counselor, with Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem on the wish list. I’m told now that Scott is on the verge of getting both actors into the movie, and that Angelina Jolie is in discussions to play the female lead. They’re all in talks for a film that starts production late June. Fox is negotiating to distribute, which was expected because of Scott Free’s first look deal that gave the studio first crack at the package.

That’s a lot of exciting news! What do you think about Pitt, Bardem, and Jolie being attached to the film? What are your thoughts on Pitt and Jolie maybe starring in their second film together?
