'The Counselor' Producers Again Strike Fast To Pre-empt Frederick Forsyth's 'The Kill List'
Killing Them Softly
Adapted from George V. Higgins novel and set in New Orleans, Killing Them Softly follows professional enforcer, Jackie Cogan (Pitt), who investigates a heist that occurs during a high stakes, mob-protected, poker game. The film also features Scoot McNairy (Monsters), Ben Mendelsohn (Animal Kingdom), Ray Liotta, Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), with James Gandolfini, Vincent Curatola, Max Casella and Sam Shepard among others.
The Counselor
Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott and Pulitzer Prize winning author Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men) have joined forces in the motion picture thriller THE COUNSELOR, starring Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, and Brad Pitt. McCarthy, making his screenwriting debut and Scott interweave the author's characteristic wit and dark humor with a nightmarish scenario, in which a respected lawyer's one-time dalliance with an illegal business deal spirals out of control.
The Host
The human race is on the brink of being conquered by an alien race and only a few pockets of resistance remain. These aliens can possess humans and take over their minds. When one of these aliens, named Wanderer, attempt to possess Melanie Stryder, her love for a man named Jared is strong enough to turn the alien into an accomplice, enabling her escape to find the man she longs for.
