Brad Pitt Cowboy Costume in The Counselor

Brad Pitt got into character with a cowboy hat and facial hair for The Counselor in London this week. He started work yesterday on the Ridley Scott-directed film, which he'll apparently only shoot for a few days. The drama is based on a screenplay by author Cormac McCarthy and follows a lawyer as he gets into the drug business. Michael Fassbender joined Brad in front of the cameras today. Also reportedly lined up for the project are Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, and Javier Bardem.

Brad's on set in the UK, where he and Angelina Jolie have been staying as a family since Angelina began filming Maleficent in June. She's been in full costume and has had visits from her kids in between takes. Brad, meanwhile, traveled to Germany and also met up with pal George Clooney in the UK during his downtime.
