THE COUNSELOR SET TO SHOOT IN THE FALL (and other tidbits)

Anyone read that big spread on Ridley Scott in The Hollywood Reporter yesterday? I was going to post it but it has a ‘David’ spoiler in it that I thought many of you would not be happy reading about. Any way, according to THR via ‘Film Thrasher’ The Counselor won’t be shooting in June but instead some time this Fall. It is, however, expected to be released in early 2013. We’ll see.
Also, as you may already know, Sir Ridley is itching to make a sequel to Prometheus ASAP. I’m on board if David’s on board, Mr. Scott. Just hoping David will be around to be on board :{
Via Film Thrasher:
“In a large profile on THR it’s stated that after his next film The Counselor, a sequel to Prometheus is something that Ridley Scott “hopes will come next”. The Counselor, starring Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, and Penelope Cruz is set to shoot this fall, which the director called ”No Country for Old Men on steroids.” While he’ll be involved in a heavy post-production for the film, The Counselor is still expected to swiftly be out the door and into theater by Early 2013, which a Prometheus sequel could get rolling at the end of next year at the very earliest.
However, we also have to take into consideration other factors. 20th Century Fox is ultimately the one that says whether or not a sequel will go forward, and that will likely depend upon how the first film does at the box office. With the freshly confirmed R-rating, it’ll be interesting to see just how audiences respond to the film, although the positive word of mouth and already present Alien fanbase are likely to show up to support the sci-fi epic.”
“The fact he wants to get a second Prometheus done first, however, shows not only his dedication to returning back in the sci-fi genre but also to likely get the lengthy principal photography out of the way. The first film took over six month to shoot, with WETA digital effects taking place around the same time. So it’s likely that if a sequel is to happen, the film will not see the light of day until Christmas 2014 or even Summer 2015.”
