In real life, Penelope Cruz is happily married to fellow Spanish superstar Javier Bardem.
But she might want to reconsider her taste in men in the upcoming film The Counselor, in which she plays the fiancee of a greedy lawyer who might just get her killed.
A new international trailer released on Tuesday includes some unseen footage from the movie, which follows a lawyer (Michael Fassbender) and the trouble he falls into while pursuing a $20million cocaine deal.

The bling ring: The trailer shows the counselor slipping a massive ring on Laura's finger, though it appears he might not have the money for it
An early scene shows the counselor proposing to Cruz's character Laura with a massive glittering diamond.'I intend to love you until I die,' Fassbender's character says.
'Me first,' responds Laura, in perhaps a foreshadowing of the danger to come.

Those risks end up coming to fruition when the cocaine shipment is mysteriously lost - and the counselor's clients believe he's the one responsible for the mistake.
'They think we're all involved, don't they?' the panicked lawyer tells Westray.

Warnings: 'You should be careful what you wish for,' says Malkina (played by Cameron Diaz) to Laura
'No. Just you, counselor. You,' he responds. 'They don't believe in coincidences - they've heard of them, they just never seen one.'
Yet the flaming wreck of the deal comes down on not only the counselor but his fiancee as well.
The trailer shows Laura sprinting away and tripping as a man in black attacks her in a parking structure.

Quick cuts of men getting shot, shattering glass and emotional breakdowns also help set the tone for the dark thriller.
'You are the world you have created,' states an unknown voice at the end of the clip. 'And when you cease to exist, this world you have created will also cease to exist.'
Anticipation has reached fever pitch for the Ridley Scott directed movie, which is scheduled to be released in the U.S. on October 25.
