Moss would be phenomenal. She slayed her very True Detective-y role in Top of the Lake. This would be a real coup for the show if they could land her.Dylan wrote:In addition to Vaughn, Elisabeth Moss is also in talks to star (an exciting, inspired choice if she gets the role).flyonthewall2983 wrote:Vince Vaughn in talks to star in S2.

Re: True Detective
And did you notice that Moss's character is named (sigh) Ani Bezzerides? Not on the nose at all there.

Re: True Detective
I'm pleased Fukunaga got "best director" though - unlike the other nominees, he was at the helm for every episode which may have given him an advantage even if he was only nominated for one of them (the one containing the tour de force tracking shot, of course).domino harvey wrote:Well HBO, good work screwing almost everyone out of their Emmys with the category switch

The show didn't even make it to Weird Al's parody.

Well, I guess I feel like Homer trapped in a bomb shelter flipping through a "The Far Side" calendar.

Re: True Detective
Rachel McAdams in talks for the female lead, which would obviously be a much bigger "get" than Moss

Although I'd much prefer seeing Moss in the role, especially after Top of the Lake.

Re: True Detective
There are many, many actresses circling this one role, including Brit Marling, Rosario Dawson, Malin Akerman, and Jessica Biel in addition to McAdams and Moss

Re: True Detective
Rachel McAdams confirmed as the lead.
Since the end of the summer we've learned that Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Taylor Kitsch have all agreed to prominent roles in the upcoming second season of 2014's most talked-about drama. Creator Nic Pizzolatto had previously divulged that the new season, which will take place in California, would also feature a female lead, and McAdams had long been the frontrunner to land the role.
According to a press release, McAdams's character of Sheriff Ani Bezzeridesis is a "Ventura County Sheriff's detective whose uncompromising ethics put her at odds with the system she serves." She also reportedly has drinking and gambling problems, so it will be interesting to see how McAdams is able to inhabit a more troubled character than she's accustomed to playing.

Works for me...the spooky thing was the biggest deference to cliche and the weakest and least interesting part of the first season. Though I will miss the LA atmosphere.domino harvey wrote:The second season is no longer about the secret occult history of anything

Re: True Detective
It wasn't particularly interesting to me either as I never thought that the show really took its metaphysical angle genuinely seriously. That always came off as a byproduct of the banal psychological realism, an epiphenomenal extension of it (i.e. what the show really took seriously, reduced everything else to ultimately and read everything else through). Because that was so banal though, it was welcome. As the show supposedly devolved into more gothic pulpy campiness I appreciated it more for shedding pretensions it never had any real interest in developing or following up on and just embracing the underlying Pulp that it always was. Having said that, the gesture toward metaphysics was at least what distinguished it from the endless reams of other cop shows out there and made it distinct. To blow that off in favor of presumably more "psychological realism" seems a real bad move to me. Hopefully the Pulp will rise and save the day.Zot! wrote:Works for me...the spooky thing was the biggest deference to cliche and the weakest and least interesting part of the first season.

Re: True Detective
Early reviews are not kind. Also, apparently one of the characters in the new series is a negative and thinly-veiled depiction of Fukunaga...

Re: True Detective
Matt Zoller Seitz really likes it
Alan Sepinwall a bit more mixed, gives it a B- and mentions the Fukunaga thing Domino did
Take note though that the reviews are of the first three episodes, and if I remember correctly, the first season didn't quite get going until further in than that. I'm cautiously optimistic.
