I think the guy's a talented actor whose career just kind of flamed out. He seems like someone who can fit into Pizzolatto's world and seems like he can be play a great character. It seems so specific. I just hope he can handle that Pizzolatto dialogue or we get a Vince Vaughn situation.
 
Yeah I'm definitely looking forward this. The cast alone has me interested, especially with Stephen Dorff involved. The dude is a great character actor IMO and I can't wait to see what kind of material they will give him.
 
Dorff is actor who shines when he is playing slightly sleazy or morally questionable types in my opinion.

I enjoyed Dorff in movies Blade, American Hero, Judgment Night, City of Industry & Blood and Wine.
 
Ray Fisher joins the cast.

It’s just been revealed that Justice League actor Ray Fisher — who portrayed Victor Stone, AKA Cyborg, in the superhero crossover — has been selected to help round out the cast of the third season of HBO’s hit series True Detective.

After a multi-year hiatus following a divisive second season, True Detective is back in development, with the season’s mystery involves a story in the Ozarks spanning three time periods. Deadline has just broke the news that Ray Fisher will be joining the anthology show’s ensemble as a supporting character — Freddy Burns, the son of lead character Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali).
 
Let's hope he can actually act this time.
 
When does actual filming start?
 
Congrats to Ray Fisher. I thought he was great in JL.
 
Yeah I thought Ray did a decent job in JL as well. :)
 
I thought Fisher was pretty damn good in JL, even if that character was too somber. He should suit this show just fine. :funny:

And I think they started filming on the 12th.
 
Didn’t Ray get raves for playing Muhammad Ali onstage?
 
I also didn't realize they were setting this in the Ozarks. I like it.

Hope it has that same other wordly feel as the first season. Nice to see out of the way places ive never been.

The Ozarks are also notoriously drug/crime-addled, which makes it a good fit.
 
I want to watch this now. :( Can't film it fast enough.
 
They're actually filming in the Ozarks too which will set it apart from Ozark which films in Atlanta. Given how they film landscape and Pizzolatto's relationship to it, and Saulnier's directing I doubt we'll be thinking of that show.

I think I've made peace with the fact that this points to being The Last Crusade of these seasons. It'll go back to what worked before in feel but hopefully Pizzolatto comes up with a center hook that can make it unique. If we're just gonna see Ali being interrogated saying let me tell you what happened way back then I'm gonna be upset.

Interesting casting choice with Fisher. I'm curious to see what they do with him, but the dude definitely has talent.
 
Now here's a set photo, even though you can't see Dorff and Ali's faces, Saulnier is there in the camo according to the reddit guy. Hardly anything, but goddammit, it's enough for me. Plus you can also see the 70's clothing and cars.

I wanna try to stay away from this but **** man... it's just been so long.
