The Counsellor has a star-studded cast which includes Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz, and marks the screenwriting debut of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy.
The story centres on an attorney played by Michael Fassbender who gets in over his head when he teams up with Javier Bardem's seedy character to sell $20 million worth of cocaine.
True Romance director Tony, 68, was laid to rest last week after his loved ones said their goodbyes at a small funeral.
Ridley said an emotional farewell to the late director at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, the resting place of many of the biggest names in the film industry.

The pair had been close friends and business partners, forming the company Scott Free Productions together in 1995.
