they've offered jessica chastain a co-lead in series 2

they should get the band back together from take shelter...michael shannon other lead, jeff nichols director

make it happen

Not sure how TD will do at the awards shows, but it just took 5th place in MrSkin's Top 10 Labia Scenes

Congrats to everyone involved!

Believe I called the Chastain casting like 3 months ago. Absolutely love her. One time

looks like colin farrell for one role, lolz

confirmed set in california, 3 main roles

I kinda hope Woody gets the Emmy since Matthew got the Oscar. Probably Cranston tho.

Anybody have thoughts about not going with a single director like the first season? There have been many top notch shows that, stylistically, crush on a big league level; but, True Detective managed to angle just a bit higher and I can't help but think that's in large part due to a single vision for the whole run. It seems like a crazy decision to jump away from that when it so clearly impacted the show.

To do it right, you really need the same director, same cinematographer, and same editor for all of the episodes. Even season 1 of TD couldn't do that, having to switch editors for I think 3 episodes. I think that tonally hurt the show, but most others wouldn't notice it much. Each editor has a very particular pace they cut at, and editors aren't good at matching others' pace, because each editor has their own inherent timing. It's similar to mixing, in that regard, in that you can give two people the same material and end up at completely different places.

The Walking Dead managed to have a very similar style throughout solely by using the same Cinematographer. That's how it would mostly be executed today. A director that I think could handle the grind of the 8 episodes is Carl Franklin, but he's pretty busy, and I'm not sure he'd want to do it. He's also visually good enough to make the show not drop down any levels (he directed almost all of the best House of Cards episodes, and was nominated for EMMY for directing for the first episode of season 2).

Directing that many episodes of a TV show is extremely grueling, so I think I would almost be surprised if they could get the same director to do all the episodes. If they can manage to get the same Cinematographer for all episodes, that should keep the look intact. If they can have one editor throughout the run, the feel will always be consistent. Look and editing (in my opnion) are more important than having the same director for consistency. The first director is the one who sets the tone and style (why they're always given Executive Producer credit), and everyone else's job is to make the show feel as similar as possible to that or those opening episode(s).

Not sure howl I feel about this....

Could be more elite level trolling.

Colin Farrell is awesome. Great actor. The other guy...not so much.

Yeh I like Colin Farrell. I say bring in Brendan Gleeson and make it In Bruges II.

Did you guys not watch FNL? Riggins is a terrific actor

I'll believe it when I see a formal announcement.

this might be the most disappointing post i have ever read on 2+2.

have u seen in Bruges and 7 psychopaths?

lol have you seen 7 psychopaths? i think that you're a moron for suggesting that 7 psychopaths is an argument for colin farrell not being awful.

so then your answer is yes?

lol dom as usual

taylor kitsch, yeaaaaahbuddy

TIM RIGGINS GOAT

Taylor Kitsch was good in FNL but based on who they got in S1 huge step down.

taylor kitsch is a c list actor, with one of the worst movie careers of all time

i guess on the bright side the expectations will be lowered

also disappointed to hear they are going with multiple directors. that is going to hurt the flow a bit.

Or you're actually being trolled.

His movies bombing is not really indicative of how good he is at acting.

Taylor kisch is a higher level movie star than woody harrelson

I think regardless of who they get, it's best to just expect a good show. Expecting anything close to GOAT level season 1 will just lead to disappointment.
