New pictures and poster for The Counselor with Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The fall movie season usually has some particularly dark films, but this year there seems to be more than usual: Spike Lee's OLDBOY remake, OUT OF THE FURNACE with Christian Bale and Woody Harrelson, PRISONERS starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal (which has earned a perfect 10 from JoBlo.com's Chris Bumbray) and of course, THE COUNSELOR directed by Ridley Scott and written by Cormac McCarthy.

The Wrap has some new images and a poster for the highly anticipated film featuring Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt. I would have preferred a little bit more style for the poster instead of blandly framing the cast together, but really it's the movie that matters and not the poster, and I won't have a problem with a generic poster if I'm rewarded with a fantastic film.
