And Ryan came to me, and there’s 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, ‘Nick come here.’ And he’s doing a scene with Rachel and he says, ‘Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?’ I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this.’”

    Kitsch’s character, Paul Woodrugh, is a veteran and California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer. Woodrugh is “running from a difficult past and the sudden glare of a scandal that never happened.”

    Reilly will play a struggling actress and the wife of Vince Vaughn’s character, Frank Semyon.

    Semyon is “a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.”

    Kitsch told AdWeek last month that he was “really excited” to get started, as rumors swirled that he would be part of the hit series.

    “I’ve just been prepping. It’s been almost a full year since I’ve been on camera, so I’m itching, man,” he said. “I’m overdue. You’ve just got to grind it out. Even taking this year off was, I mean you want to work, but you also don’t want to just water it down and work for the sake of working. So, it was tough to sit a year out, keeping a finger crossed that I was going to get True.”

  • True Detective Season Two Brings Colin Farrell Into the Mix

    True Detective Season Two Brings Colin Farrell Into the Mix

    After the success of season one, HBO’s True Detective will return with a few new additions, including Irish actor Colin Farrell.

    “I’m doing the second series,” the 38-year-old told Sunday World. “I’m so excited.”

    HBO has not yet confirmed the statement but in July it was reported that Farrell was “deep in negotiations” to play a role on the show.

    Farrell, who was recently seen in Saving Mr. Banks and Winter’s Tale, will follow the success of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson from the first season. The show earned twelve Emmy nominations, including one for each of the male leads, and won five.

    The program format, which wraps up in a single abbreviated season, makes it easy for big-name actors to commit to the show.

    Another name that has been floated for season two is Taylor Kitsch, a Canadian actor best known for his role in NBC’s Friday Night Lights. Rumors also surround role possibilities for Vince Vaughn (Swingers, Dodgeball) and Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men).

    But for Farrell, who has been in (Minority Report) out (Total Recall) of stardom greatness, this could be the show that solidifies his acting chops. After all, it didn’t seem to hurt McConaughey who gained more respect through his role on on the show (and, around the same time, in Dallas Buyers Club).

    Nic Pizzolatto, creator of True Detective, told Hitfix that if anything about season one has taught him anything it’s that he needs to keep “being strange” and not the play the next season “straight.”

    Pizzolatto has also hinted that season two is about “hard women, bad men, and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.”

    Recently, Pizzolatto began to expand on season two saying, “Right now, we’re working with three leads…The characters are all new, but I’m deeply in love with each of them. We’ve got the entire series broken out with a couple of scripts, and we’ll probably start casting in earnest in the coming months.”

    Pizzolatta also commented on the setting for season two.

    “…It takes place in California — not Los Angeles, but some of the much lesser known venues of California — and we’re going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in season one.”

    No official release date for season two has been announced.
