Looks like Keira Knightley and Abigail Spencer have now entered the mix. I'm a big Abigail Spencer fan, in particular, and would love to see her finally blow up. I doubt she's a big enough name, though...

Rachel McAdams has beed added.

As a leading role

Scratch that. Looks like Rachel McAdams just locked it down. Easily my number one choice out of everyone mentioned...

If she signs, this is almost assuredly your True Detective Season 2 cast...

Colin Farrell
Vince Vaughn
Taylor Kitsch
Rachel McAdams

If I had to guess, I'd say Vince Vaughn's character, even though he's not a detective, is likely the second lead. Then Kitsch and McAdams are probably co-third leads. Something like that. Either way, I can't wait.

Ha, must have been typing as you posted, Nonreg.

Can't believe I missed the connection...

I'm very happy about Taylor Kitsch being added, I think he's best in Drama roles, Hollywood tried a little too hard to make him an action star.

Agreed - he was great in Savages (a highly underrated film).

Or you can think of Lone Survivor, although that certainly has it's share of action, it's meant to be a drama.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think Kitsch is awful. Thought he was ok in Lone Survivor, but I cannot get over how terrible he was in that Wolverine Origin movie.

Hope in wrong.

I watched ep 1 of the 1st season and wasn't interested enough to continue w the series. Did I give up too soon?

Nope. Go back to true blood.

Yeah, I really think it's one of those shows where the pilot really clearly sets the tone. if you didn't find it compelling, it's not likely to change for you.

I actually wasn't that impressed with the pilot either and hung in because of the amazing reviews, within another episode or so I was hooked.

Kitsch confirmed.

Texas forever

First look at Colin Farrell on set...

BOLO like a boss

Ha, right? Such a great look for this show. Kind of frumpy/older too. So glad they didn't go the obvious route with an actor like him.

Finally got around to doing a post on the casting/plot the other day, if anyone's interested. Got some good character info...

Why the hate for Taylor?

brought back the miami vice mustache.

Isn't this Blevins guy an Aggie?

And just FYI, it looks they're only rehearsing. Can't tell if that's their character's actual wardrobe or not.
