First trailer for Ridley Scott's "The Counselor"

While most of the attention surrounding Scott over the past year or so has been around the dramatically uneven "Prometheus", that film's would-be sequel and the long-rumored second installment in the "Blade Runner" saga the director has been quietly at work putting together this little ditty which looks pretty amazing.

Michael Fassbender plays a southwestern lawyer who decides to dabble in the drug trade to raise some extra cash. Also starring Javier Bardem, Penelope Crus, Cameron Diaz and Brad Pitt the story revolves around how the lawyer's choice of second jobs will cause him "to come to moral decisions that will take [him] completely by surprise".



"The Counselor" opens October 25th.
