Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 11:37AM Ridley Scott May Direct Cormac McCarthy's 'The Counselor'

This kind of news couldn’t be any better. Ridley Scott is considering to direct The Counselor from Cormac McCarthy. Freeze-frame fist pump! Scott plans to follow up with the Pulitzer Prize-winning author McCarthy (the writer behind No Country For Old Men, The Road, All the Pretty Horses), who sold The Counselor film rights to his first spec screenplay to The Road producing team of Nick Wechsler and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz.
Scott has been thinking of directing a historical epic about Gertrude Bell, but may choose the McCarthy project instead.
