" Brad Pitt has discussed his reunion with Ridley Scott. The star&amp;#039;s appearance in Scott&amp;#039;s upcoming drama The Counselor will mark their first collaboration since 1991&amp;#039;s Thelma &amp;amp;amp; Louise, which Pitt described as his first shot at &amp;quot;the big leagues&amp;quot;.      &amp;quot;Ridley gave me my shot into film, he let me in the big leagues,&amp;quot; Pitt told Digital Spy. &amp;quot;So it&amp;#039;s really nice to return and do something with him.&amp;quot; Pitt will play a shady character assisting Michael Fassbender&amp;#039;s protagonist, a hard-up attorney who becomes involved with cocaine trading on the Mexican border.  He went on to discuss his admiration for novelist Cormac McCarthy, who wrote the screenplay for The Counselor. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve probably read every word this man&amp;#039;s published more than once, most of them more than once,&amp;quot; Pitt admitted. Production resumed on The Counselor last week, after Scott took a hiatus from filming to mourn the death of his brother Tony Scott.  The Counselor is set for release in the US on November 15, 2013, with a UK release date yet to be set.
