Streaming [HBO] True Detective

[Vincent Chase]

I'm on the fence. His good is good, but his bad... is terrible.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Farrell signing on is fine with me.

Sure he's been in some bad stuff, but we're talking about a show that blitzed it with Matthew McConaughey in the lead.

If someone told you that two years ago you'd laugh in their face.

Fair point but MM was building form leading into it. Hope they have a decent offsider or other cast members to support Farrell.

I would've high fived them.

I dont mind this. Hope he doesnt play a dirty cop like in that movie Pride and Glory.
If the writing is good though he can pull it off, can act.

I don't know how concrete the source is but the earlier casting rumours were exactly that, a dirty cop with a coke problem lol. I wouldn't be surprised if that was BS though as the media don't have any more clues than we do when it comes to S2.

Im certain Pizzolotto will have something more original then that

 

[Warsaw]

The New World is like a masterpiece, but I've had no lingering attachment to Farrell than I have for say Bale, or say Clive Owen after Children of Men.

Hope he doesn't have to play American.

Yeah I agree, he's been pretty open about the fact that no one knows what he's planned thus far either so all this plot speculation is almost certainly BS.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I'm really happy about it, Farrell normal acts to the standard of the material. If it's well written I'm sure he'll be excellent.

 

[NitroFan]

I doubt that the second season even gets close to what the first was.

even if it does the hype is going to be so absurdly over the top that most people will feel disappointed.

Vince Vaughn confirmed + some plot info

2 interesting choices. It really doesnt matter it'll come down to the storyline/writing. For alot of people it wont match season 1 as they have hyped it up so much.

To me, i just hope it can keep at a high level for the whole season and not the first 5 or so episodes like season 1

 

[Percel]

Cant wait for Farrel to say (in a physchotic girly voice), "I will find you......"

I agree so much on both points, I've liked Farrell when he's got good material to work with and I'm very intrigued by the prospect of Vaughn as a villain.

It's inevitable that we'll see legions of elitist flogs whinging about S2, it won't even matter if they smash it out of the park and top the first season.
Personally I just think that so long as they maintain the excellent standard of cinematography and the key themes and mood of S1 then it should be great, I trust Pizzolatto will deliver more quality.

Farrell is fine, good casting and a little left of centre (like Matty) but Vaughn... his only attempts at anything serious that i can recall are Psycho (eeeesh) The Cell (which i loved but wasn't great).

Can do comedy (although he has one character and one character only) but ive seen nothing to suggest he has any range at all for a cunning, clever, evil criminal.

He was good in Into the Wild, was a small part but was good in a straight role.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

He should just play it like a comedy. His comedy style is very natural, doesn't seemed forced. It's a weird thing about drama tv/films, the notion of realism yet often the absence of humour which is huge part of everyday life.

Ah yes, good call.

 

[pantskyle]

Wait Vince Vaughn is a comedian?

 

[Marlowe]

I assume Pizzolatto got high while watching that awful Starsky & Hutch remake and cast Vaughan based off of that. But look what PTA did with Adam Sandler, who knows what the Pizzalatto sees in Vaughan.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

It's worth noting that these guys weren't just picked through IMDB roulette.

The pressure is on for season two to stand up to the first one.

Vaughn and Farrell would have knocked their auditions and screen tests through the roof.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

I remember seeing Vince Vaughan in Clay Pigeons and thinking that he was really great. Still had the bravado persona, but was a bit more menacing and unhinged. I'm really intrigued by his casting, to be honest.

Same here. He was good in that.

Maybe not comedian, but comedy actor, seeing as his most well-known roles are in comedies.

Clay Pigeons is an underrated movie in general though.
