I'll happily eat a crow if he gives a great performance

I like all three of those casting rumors. Casting against type can often work to great effect so Vaughn could be very interesting in the role. Farrell's shown off his dramatic chops a number of times before, as well as an ability to bounce really well off of a co-lead. And Taylor Kitsch given some uncompromisingly dark and literate material to work with may well churn out something memorable (he apparently gave a solid dramatic performance in Lone Survivor, but I haven't seen it).
How was Kitsch in The Normal Heart?

“The second season of True Detective will follow the death of Ben Caspar, the corrupt City Manager of a fictional California city who’s found brutally murdered amidst a potentially groundbreaking transportation deal that would forever change the freeway gridlock in California. Three law enforcement officers from different cities and branches of the government are tasked with finding out who did it. They soon discover their investigation has much broader and darker implications than they initially thought.
Caspar’s 52-year-old corpse is found on a lonely stretch of the PCH near Big Sur—his eye burned out, genitals cut off and satanic symbols etched on his chest. It turns out he had a penchant for rough sex and may have been involved in the Occult.”
This sounds amazing !! Cannot wait!! I just hope it's longer than 8 episodesElizabeth Moss and Michelle Forbes are also in talks to join the cast, Moss as the fourth female lead and Forbes in a supporting role
Andrew Dominik is rumored to direct some of season 2, though may not be able to because of scheduling conflicts

Probably best to wait for an official announcement since it sounds like they're closing in on a lot of this. I'm not against a new thread if you really want to make one, but I don't really see the need quite yet.New thread worthy?
Remember when Nic first said that season 2 was about "hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system." and there were those who said it was a joke/troll answer?
That's a very white (rumored) cast for something set in California. C'mon, Mr. Pizzolatto.

Elizabeth Moss better not be in this. Can't stand her!!
She's British but the chick from the first Captain America could be a good addition.
You mean the chick that's getting a show next year based on her Captain America character?
Is this show good? I started watching the first episode but Woody's voice is incredibly annoying to me. Is the story good enough to make it worth watching? I just finished Hannibal, how does this series compare?
Many consider it the best show since The Wire (or Breaking Bad). So I think most will tell you it's worth watching. However, it something as trivial as Woody's voice turns you off, not sure it's the kind of show for you.
Wow, high praise. Guess I might as well.
That synopsis sounds awesome. Not that I ever wasn't, but I'm totally in for S2.
I wonder when they intend to air it. It took about 9 months from principal photography to airing for S1. If you hold that for S2......could it maybe air Summer 2015? Taking True Blood's slot?
I did some digging around and I found this story that could very well be Pizzolatto's basis for season 2 of True Detective. What do you think?
The main investigation in season two could revolve around the dismantling of public transportation trolley lines by National City Lines, Inc. (NCL)beginning in the 1930s in what is also known as the Great American streetcar scandal. The contracted transit company NCL was a front companyorganized by General Motors' Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. in 1922, reorganized in 1936 into a holding companyfor the express purpose of acquiring local transit systems throughout the United States, but once NCL purchased a transit company, electric trolley service was immediately discontinued, the tracks quickly pulled up, the wires dismantled, and General Motors buses replaced the trolleys. Land around the Los Angeles area was also a hot commodity due to impending freeway construction.
Other wealthy individuals were also involved in this scandal, one major player being a Los Angeles judge who was also the silent owner of Cloverleaf Industries, which bought out the Pacific Electric system of trolley cars in 1945.
After Marvin Acme, the eccentric owner of a large tract of land (as well as the original Acme factory, yes, there was a real Acme factory!), near what is today central Los Angeles, was found dead of very mysterious and grizzly circumstances in 1947, his will was never found though he most certainly had one. A close friend claimed that Acmes will stipulated that the ownership of the property should pass to the residents of his land, an isolated group, which many in the surrounding areas believed to have mysterious and inhuman abilities. The judge, despite (or perhaps because of) being born and raised by this mysterious cult, began using his power to not only keep those residents from owning the land but to remove them from the land altogether. On the business side, his company made an offer to purchase the Acme factory, which, while not located on the land in question, was being sold to the highest bidder in a package along with the land due to the lack of a will and legislation passed by the judge himself (legislation which was repealed just a few years later). On the private side, more dead bodies began to show up in grizzly and unexplainable murder scenes, many involving acid, which were mainly kept out of the press by the Judges ties to local authorities.
I wont reveal everything that happened, you can read up on it for yourself if you want, and Im sure some things will be changed around by Pizzolatto, but I think its a safe bet that this is the basis for the story well see. The question that still remains, though, is who will play the two main investigators?
The better performance in that cast imo, oddly enough he was the only one not nominated
Wasn't a fan of the movie though, the main character was a bit outrageous
