Angelina Jolie Also Circling Ridley Scott’s ‘The Counselor’

Over the past month or so, Natalie Portman has entered talks to play his wife, both Javier Bardem and Jeremy Renner have been up for the villain role, and Brad Pitt has been rumored to be considering a supporting role. Now the latest A-lister said to be circling is Angelina Jolie, who’s reportedly met with Scott to discuss a particular role. Read more after the jump.
Besides, Jolie wouldn’t have time to get too involved. Scott’s The Counselor is scheduled to get underway by June, and Jolie’s due on set for Disney’s Maleficent in late June or early July. That gives Jolie enough time to shoot a cameo, not to play a major character. The Counselor could be the first of two collaborations between Jolie and Scott, as she’s also attached to his “female Lawrence of Arabia” biopic Gertrude Bell.
