The synopsis is about a respected lawyer (Michael) who thinks he can dip a toe in to the drug business without getting sucked down. It is a bad decision and he tries his best to survive it and get out of a desperate situation. So now that we know Michael will play the way ward lawyer, there is a really bad guy role that needs to get filled, and the name Jeremy Renner has been tossed into speculation discussions. Now I don't know about you guys, but I really like Jeremy and he can play an asshole like no body's business. And the man said he can't wait to work with Michael as they have the same agent. So let's start crossing those fingers and toes for a Fassy/Renner match up!
As I learned in the comment section, the May start date filming of Counselor will not affect the filming of 'Twelve Years', which will start in late summer.
Once again, Michael is proving that he IS the new Hollywood man that everyone wants to hire. If we thought 2011 was Michael's year, 2012-2013 is going to blow us away!
