HBO's True Detective - Part 1

[kedrell]

Well we'll be able to compare the two seasons to see which way we prefer it, I guess.

 

[souvlaki]

I don't doubt for a second which one I will prefer. That is what made the first season unique.

 

[kedrell]

I refuse to make a judgement when I haven't even seen the second season yet. Yes, season 1 was great but I didn't care much for the way it ended and if season 2 can do better then I'll give my vote to it as the better season.

 

[Naked Shia]

I liked the ending. It was consistent with what we had been seeing of the protagonists. And it was really moving.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I'm a bigger fan of True Detective than you

 

[Sawyer]

Gurl plz

 

[Aesop Rocks]

i am

 

[Naked Shia]

I have been the first person in the world to be a fan of true detective.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I literally told Nic Pizzalordeo to make True Detective so I could be the fan of it

 

[Marvolo]

The back to back episodes thing isn't a new strategy on HBO. Game of Thrones has been doing it since day 1.

I thought GOT didn't use the back to back thing until season 5.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Game of Thrones has been doing back to back for as long as I've been a bigger fan of the series than you

I went in your dream to put the idea in your mind, so that you could tell Nic to make the show.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

damn...

 

[Naked Shia]

but that's okay. You still love the show quite enough. More than most people here obviously.

Taylor Kitsch confirms that he's in season 2:

Bout damn time.

Interested in seeing how Kitsch does on the show, I thought he made a very decent Gambit in the short screen time he got in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but I haven't seen any of the other movies he's been in the meanwhile. Certainly would've preferred him as Gambit again, instead of Channing Tatum, ugh.

He was super good in Savages. I'd check that out if you don't mind he chopped all his hair off.

Abigail Spencer, Kelly Reilly, Michael Irby, and Leven Rambin Eye Roles in S2

 

[runawayboulder]

I don't know who any of those people are. I vaguely remember the blonde from Terminator SCC but that's it. I like them being unknown to me, lowers expectations some.

[Bruce Malone]

I can't remember the last major project in TV or film that had already begun filming without a final announcement of who's in the cast?

Kitch despite his comments hasn't "officially" been announced yet, and the same goes for whoever the female lead is?

‘True Detective’ Adds Lolita Davidovich & James Frain For Season 2
by Nellie Andreeva

I have learned that Lolita Davidovich and Intruders star James Frain are joining the cast of the upcoming second season of HBO’s True Detective as recurring. The second installment in the crime franchise revolves around three police officers, played by Colin Farrell, Taylor Kitsch and Rachel McAdams, and a career criminal (Vince Vaughn) who must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder.

Davidovich will play Kitsch’s mother Nancy Simpson, a girly girl, a former showgirl continually sucking on cigarettes and margaritas as she mourns the loss of male sexual attention. What little of her hopes remain she has transferred onto her adult son, who, in her eyes, is God’s gift to women. Frain will play Jeff Hunt, a ruthless police lieutenant. In addition to Farrell, Kitsch, McAdams and Vaughn, Davidovich and Frain join fellow new cast additions Kelly Reilly, Michael Irby, Abigail Spencer and Leven Rambin.

Davidovich, repped by Mavrick Artists, recently wrapped Fox Searchlight’s Nicholas Sparks film The Longest Ride, playing Scott Eastwood’s mother and recurs on Fox’s midseason drama Backstrom. Frain is with APA.
