Ridley Scott Plans The Counselor

[redhawk23]

http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2013/06/10/130610fi_fiction_mccarthy Well this is odd. The New Yorker has published an excerpt from the screenplay for The Counselor. Oddly though this excerpt instead of being a scene or section of the script is made up of several parts of the screenplay describing just the settings for different scenes.

Certainly McCarthylike though.

Bardem continues with the crazy hair.

Yeah, it's like trying to read one of Alain Robbe-Grillet's "cine-novels" -- screenplays written as lengthy prose scene descriptions and precise, emotionless instructions for actors.

Footage! The film does exist!

 

[nite-owl]

Bardem's got crazy hair so you know he's going to make a good villain.

 

[BestGirl]

Damn, Fassbender's looking hot in this.

 

[StarLord]

He looks fantastic!

 

[Octoberist]

It's brief but I like what I see, it has a NCFOM vibe about it which is not surprising I guess lol.

What's the deal with the car scene?

Mmmmmmmm. t:

 

[Gianakin_]

Hot damn.

 

[Octoberist]

Latin heat!

I'm not sure it's allowed to post it here but I can PM it to you.

we all knew this gif was coming

It's...whoa, interesting that we'll be seeing it actually for the film, I wonder if that means they'll tweak on the scenes where we'll witness it instead of being told, I'm fine just as long they don't cut out the monologues, all of them are too brilliant to be left on the floor of the cutting room. Anyway I liked what I'm seeing, let's hope the rest of the film holds up.

 

[dark_b]

every frame looks perfect. how does Scott do it? just how? contrast,lighting,composition. and its all filmed on location.

 

[scifiwolf]

Scott does visuals across multiple genres like nobody's business. Actually, I'd say Scott does multiple genres in general like nobody's business.

I think I had seen this thread, but never really processed that this movie was even out there in the ether. Looks great. Honestly, I'd say this is the hottest Cameron Diaz has looked since about, I dunno, She's the One. Brad looks great in his role. Fass looks great. Story looks, well, there's not much I can discern, but it looks like it could be great. This may be a $1.50 theater movie for me, but I really want to see it.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Umm Fassbender...ticket sold??? Perhaps.

I think...

Spoiler

They will just show what they showed in the trailer (Malkina climbing the front of the car) and then the camera would just focus on Bardem's face as he's reacting to what Cameron's character is doing.

 

[dark_b]

what is she doing on the car? the script leaked or is this an adaptation?

 

[Gianakin_]

Great trailer. Can't wait.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Think Mynock on the Millennium Falcon's windows in ESB.
