True Detective - Season 2

[PabloDiablo]

News out today that Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn have been cast in season 2. Looks like Farrell as a police officer and Vaughn as a criminal type dude. The article says there will be 4 leads, 3 of whom will be police types.

Exciting news for a really cool show. Can't wait to see who the other 2 leads turn out to be.

Farrell I get, but not sure about Vaughn. But I guess I probably would have said the same thing or something similar about Harrelson and McConaughey.

Can't wait. The first season was some of the best television ever produced. Not perfect, but spectacular.

I hope the storyline is strong because that's a whole lot of meh.

Agreed, I'm really on board with Farrell. I think this is the type of role he can thrive in. This will be outside Vaughn wheelhouse (which is essentially playing himself over and over) for sure but with the right direction and writing he could be a really good crime boss type.

Excited to see how the rest of the casting plays out, for no other reason than to see if Alexandra Daddario makes a triumphant return:yes:

There are some wonderful animated gifs of that scene out there. A buddy told me.....

Yeah that girl had huge talents

 

[A-town Cy]

If he's Made/Swingers/Domestic Disturbance Vince he'll nail this role.

How have I never heard of this movie? Just watch the trailer. Looks good. I agree if he can play the fast talking sleazeball, it might work. But right now it is such a turn from the first season, I am skeptical.

Isn't this season going to have like 3 leads?

Off topic sorta but I highly recommend "In Bruges" to anyone with doubts about Farrell. That's one of the best dark (really dark) comedies I've ever seen.

Farrell plays Ray Velcoro, “a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owes him.”
Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, “a career criminal in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.”
