Well, this is all moving rather quickly.
It was only January when Cormac McCarthy's agents learned that instead of writing the new novel they were expecting the author of The Road and No Country for Old Men had instead written an original script titled The Counselor. Ridley Scott signed up to direct weeks later and now Michael Fassbender has confirmed that he will be playing the lead with production scheduled to start on May 1.
For those curious, no, Hollywood never moves this fast.
With that start date looming you can expect plenty more casting announcements in the near future.
