Let the Oscar buzz begin: the full trailer for Ridley Scott’s “The Counselor” is finally out and, if you thought the teaser was pretty amazing, wait until you see this one. It’s embedded in full above.

Based on a script by Cormac McCarthy, who also penned the critically acclaimed “No Country for Old Men,” “The Counselor” doesn’t just boast a brilliant director, but also a very impressive cast.

Michael Fassbender plays an attorney who, instead of just keeping the bad guys out of prison, decides to become one himself because, apparently, one can never have enough money.

Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem are just two of these bad guy types he’s in business with.

Penelope Cruz plays Fassbender’s fiancé, while Cameron Diaz, looking every inch the fox she is, is Bardem’s.

“The Counselor” also stars John Leguizamo, Dean Norris, Rosie Perez, Natalie Dormer and Goran Visnjic, and will open on October 25.
