I took hard women as a clue that females may be in the lead but we shall see. I would definitely be interested in that, but if it's two men again I'll end up watching it anyway.From what Pizzolatto has said about his second tale, the only elements sticking around from the story of Rust and Hart are strangeness and "bad men." The series creator told HitFix that the major lesson he learned from season one was not to "play the next one straight," and he summed up his next story by saying it's about "hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system." Sounds pretty different, huh?

Re: True Detective
Hmm yeah I saw that but then I saw this
Re: True Detective
Yeah, I saw that as well, but I don't know what it means. If I had to guess I'd guess there will be at least one female lead (X-Files style). Bad men could mean a lot of things. Rust told Marty they were both bad men who kept the other bad men from the door. You could also have a detective who's a villain. Anything's possible. Frankly I think using two female leads has the potential to seem somewhat forced, and I'm largely opposed to social justice and critical theory forcing itself on art, but I also don't doubt that Pizzolatto could make a black overweight transgender paraplegic HIV positive narcoleptic character into an interesting detective. I'm not opposed to anything like that, I only want it to come from a place of pure, honest artistic inspiration. If it feels forced, or feels like pandering to the fascistic dogma of political correctness, then it fails hard.

Awwwww, yeah. Today we have just a little bit more of Rust being an asshole than we did yesterday. (deleted scene)

Re: True Detective
Here ya go. Another chance to see Rust's relationship imploding to a backdrop of dish washing:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/vide ... ne-3236951
Also, I read a rumor about Brad Pitt being interested in season 2, but I don't know if it's bullshit or not. Assuming the next season is in CA, it might be attractive to actors who already live there (and perhaps have giant families). Even though it's just a rumor, I wonder who would make a good female co-star to pair with Pitt. Whoever the stars are, they're going to be hard-pressed to reach that Harrelson/McConaughey level of chemistry.

Brie Larson?
Eva Green?
Juliette Lewis?
That's all I can think of at the moment
Re: True Detective
Pitt and Lewis together again? it would be funny, since they were in Kalifornia together. Lewis and Harrelson would have been good too.
Re: True Detective
Yeah, I hear you. He's just a bit cold is all. It's not crazy for her to try to persuade him, because people often soften their positions in relationships. It does get out of hand when she changes tactics and begins insulting him.creep wrote:shit...i'm on his side. the guy doesn't want kids. should he have one just because she wants to? he is just being honest.Jasper wrote:Here ya go.

As far as pairing Pitt with someone, Juliane Moore could be great. Maybe Jodie Foster (though people might constantly compare her role to Clarice from Silence of the Lambs).
Re: True Detective
anybody but juliet lewis. not a fan at all.
charlize theron would be good with pitt but they might be too good looking.

Re: True Detective
http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/ ... -kate-maraSeries creator Nic Pizzolatto himself has hinted before that season 2 will be much more female-focused, and has promised “hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.” Every actress in Hollywood is probably chomping at the bit to take on Pizzolatto’s rich and highly addictive world, but few have made their desires quite as transparent as House of Cards alum Kate Mara. It all started with a cheeky tweet from Mara’s friend and fellow actress Ellen Page.
She's way too young, but from what I've seen of her acting, I can't complain.
I would watch Tiny Detectives...
Re: True Detective
Please, no. I dislike Kata Mara. Ellen Page is adorable, but as an actress she's just kind of there. Somebody needs to bring some gravity and believability. Two 20-something cutesy detectives who look like sorority girls would be ridiculous, imo.
Re: True Detective
You know it was a joke, right? Re: Tiny Detectives. You know who I would like? Catherine Keener.
Re: True Detective
Of course I know it's a joke, but you gave your opinion of Kate Mara, so I gave my opinion of the whole hypothetical situation.perkana wrote:You know it was a joke, right? Re: Tiny Detectives. You know who I would like? Catherine Keener.
If we were going to have a Mara, it would have to be Rooney, who is a goddess in human form (or possibly some kind of alien).
Re: True Detective
Rooney is too overrrated. Hated her in the remake of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But I agree Ellen Page would be adorable. I like Sarah Polley. She would be ok.
P.S. What do you mean they would look like sorority girls? Re: Mara and Page. I think Page can play very dark characters too, like in an American Crime (which she costarred with Keener, they would make a great detective team, now that I think about it).

Re: True Detective
To be clear, I think Ellen Page is cute, but I think she would suck as a True Detective. I don't think much of her as an actor. I also don't want a Rooney, but if I had to go with one, it would be Mara, who I think is beautiful and a good actor.perkana wrote:Rooney is too overrrated.

By sorority girls I mean pretty/cute/young and without gravitas. I want more mature actors. Two female detectives is statistically far more unlikely, so you perhaps lose minor realism points there, but it's not too bad. Two PRETTY female detectives is getting really silly, so that's major points off. Two pretty female detectives who are in their 20s is completely absurd, so the immersion is completely ruined by that point.
Re: True Detective
I don't think of them as pretty...they are smart and bitching, what the hell are you talking about? And even if they were "pretty", why would no one take them seriously if they are actually good detectives. I just don't understand you.
Anyway, beside Julianne Moore, who else do you thing would be great?
P.S. I just don't see it in Jodie Foster to be honest, her acting has become over the top for me over the years.

The world sees them as pretty. They are both very popular (for their looks) with males and women who like women.perkana wrote:I don't think of them as pretty...they are smart and bitching, what the hell are you talking about?
But I already explained. You could make the same argument about two talking rabbits as detectives.

i agree...young hot detectives would lose them credibility. it would be like veronica mars or scooby do. maybe older and hot would work. someone like diane lane or maria bello.Jasper wrote:The world sees them as pretty.

Re: True Detective
Generally speaking, it depends on the skill of the actor. Makeup artists can age and/or *deprettify attractive actors when necessary, so I do not think someone should be ruled out simply because of his/her looks (i.e Charlize Theron in Monster). Whether the actor can pull off the role is another story.
(Yes, I made up that word. )
