The filmmaker put the movie on hiatus for two weeks. He left the set of The Counselor so he could travel from London to Hollywood and handle his brother’s affairs after Tony Scott’s tragic death. Now director/producer Ridley Scott is starting production back up on The Counselor for Fox Monday, with Michael Fassbender back on set Tuesday in London. Film moves to Alicante, Spain, in a couple weeks.

I’m truly sorry for your loss and wish you the best, Ridley Scott. Hopefully the new production will contribute to the healing …
Ridley Scott is known to throw himself into his work following a tragedy. When his elder brother died of cancer, Ridley immediately started work on Blade Runner. Working is the best way to deal with grief for some people.
Good luck to Ridley Scott. Sorry for your loss. Tony Scott will be remembered.
bravo Rid, your indeed the governor and the general, wish you comfort as you emerge from this tragedy…
Very sorry to hear the news about Tony, however hard work can be the best distraction from grief.
A point re The Counselor, I cannot see on the roster which part Russell Crowe is playing. He must be in it somewhere.
