Vince Vaughn In Talks For ‘True Detective’ Season 2
One of Hollywood’s biggest actors is in talks to join one of TV’s biggest shows. Standing over six feet tall (see what I did there?),Vince Vaughnis in talks to joinTrue Detectiveseason 2. He’s up for one of this season’s three leads. It’s unclear if this isone of the same rolesColin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch were recently circling or another one entirely.

TV Linebroke the news of Vaughn’s potential attachment to the project. The article says the project has three leads but keep in mind that creatorNic Pizzolattorecently amended his early statement about the show’s lead structure to saythere are actually four.
While we don’t know much about the second season ofTrue Detective, we do know a little bit. We know Pizzolattohas turned in scriptsfor the first few episodes and that it’s set in California. Initial reports were it was about “hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.” However, again, Pizzolattostepped off that statementrecently saying he preferred not to comment on the “transportation system” aspect.
Sounds like the show is evolving steadily as he’s writing, and what he thought the second season would be about six months ago is not quite the same now.
What is the same is the creator’s penchant for big time Hollywood talent. No matter who gets cast, Vaughn is one of the most recognizable names and faces in Hollywood. Though he hasn’t had a massive hit in some time, studios regularly cast him in big, broad, crowd pleasing films likeThe InternshiporDelivery Man. That’s probably exactly why he’d be excited by this opportunity. It’s a chance to break out of that over-grown-child stereotype and really do some acting.
Would Vince Vaughn potentially being inTrue Detectiveseason 2 be a bad thing in your mind? Or would you just trust the creative team?
