Just one day after Colin Farrell confirmed his casting, HBO has now made it official, and has also revealed the first details on the hotly anticipated second season of "True Detective."
Joining Farrell will be the long rumored Vince Vaughn, with the official logline indicating the basic outline of the story: Three police officers and a career criminal must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder.
As for the characters they’ll be playing, Farrell will take the role of Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his superiors in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him. Meanwhile, Vaughn will portray 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.
Justin Lin will direct the first two episodes of the season, and while there’s no word yet on the plethora of other names in the rumor mill, HBO will announce them as they are signed. Production begins this fall and "True Detective" returns next summer. Until then, here’s a seven-minute tribute to the show.
LMAO Really? Fast and Furious director? Oh boy this second season is DOOMED. Especially since this joker is going to essentially set the visual tone of it.
kind of a step down director- and actor-wise. colin farrel is hit or miss and vaughn? can\’t recall the last time he did anything worth viewing. hope they can capture at least some of the magic of the first season.
