Steven King directed a movie based on a Stephen King story?

is that weird?
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 7 September 2014 00:33 (ten years ago) link
i hope so
― Now you're messing with a (President Keyes), Sunday, 7 September 2014 00:53 (ten years ago) link
maybe it's weird that he chose to direct in the first place but i don't see what should stop an actual director from adapting their own work
writers adapt their own stories into screenplays all the time, if you can write and direct why not
is this some hubris faux pas i don't know about
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 7 September 2014 01:11 (ten years ago) link
oh is this about the name thing
i guess that's funny

great spelling joke

Justin Lin confirmed to direct two episodes also. Excited to see how badly they can fuck this up
― Number None, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:37 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I'm kind of okay with pretending S1 will forever be the only season.

Vaughn's good w comedy but Russian criminal underboss is a hard sell I mean come on

"hey what should we call our new mob/cop drama with the director of Fast Five starring Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn? something that will get people excited but not expect TOO much..."
"how about TRUE DETECTIVE SEASON 2?"
― da croupier, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:46 (nine years ago) link
with taylor kitsch as the third male lead and some of the names they've got circling around the female lead (jessica biel, rosario dawson, malin akerman) it's possible every major actor in this thing will be someone with a losing streak at the box office
― da croupier, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:50 (nine years ago) link
Farrell's been rly good in everything I've seen him in, idg why people would be appalled at this casting
(everything: Phone Booth, In Bruges, Horrible Bosses, Seven Psychopaths - even in the bad ones he's splendid. Vaughan has sleepwalked through plenty of turds, and McConaughey went about 15 years without bothering to engage with a script, so)
― Starland Vocal Gland (sic), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:51 (nine years ago) link
McConaughey went about 15 years without bothering to engage with a script, so
have you not been following the McConaissance

I've liked Colin Farrell in a lot of stuff and i'd love to see TV turn around his box office poison rep but they're making this season look like celebrity rehab
― da croupier, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link
but yeah I hate Farrell, smug, terrible in everything, never made a movie I liked etc.
xp
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link
Not surprising that it's set in LA then xp
― 龜, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:54 (nine years ago) link
re: McConaughey it's true he had a terrible streak, but TD was part of a pretty high profile re-setting of his career, it wasn't the first instance of his reestablishing his credibility but following Bernie, Magic Mike, Mud, etc. I was excited to see him in this
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:55 (nine years ago) link
mateo was two years into his comeback when this came out with his oscar winner in the can, it's not like he jumped in off the set of Fools Gold
― da croupier, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:55 (nine years ago) link
yeah but as you say this was part of it. I didn't check the dates but let's call it Dazed -> Friedkin = wasteland
― Starland Vocal Gland (sic), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link
i mean hey if this show is a really wowser and upends the career trajectories of Vaughn, Farrell, Kitsch and Biel (or someone who competes with Biel for roles) AND gives Justin Lin a trophy I won't complain, I mean that's damn good tv
― da croupier, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:58 (nine years ago) link
guessing the female restoration project will be one of the main actresses on roseanne
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:58 (nine years ago) link
hoping it's metcalf
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:59 (nine years ago) link
she's already got an HBO show!
― da croupier, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:00 (nine years ago) link
hope its Roseanne then

i forgot about that! is it any good? i am not acting like the devoted laurie metcalf fan i should be
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:03 (nine years ago) link
don't really have a problem w/ this casting tbh. Is there any reason to think it won't be Elizabeth Moss for the female lead?
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:04 (nine years ago) link
i liked the lil bit of Metcalf's show i saw. daniel stern's her husband!
farrell's like clive owen (ostensibly charming british actor america just REFUSES to pay money to see) where classy cable may just be the thing for him, and its not kitsch's fault Savages, John Carter and Battleship came out the same year, but man oh man oh man oh man Vince Vaughn
does he even remember how to act
― da croupier, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:05 (nine years ago) link
woops forgot colin's irish. My apologies!
i always mix them up
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:06 (nine years ago) link
is Kitsch confirmed yet? Anyway he'll be fine as long as he sticks to glowering.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:06 (nine years ago) link
Laurie Metcalf not only has an HBO show already but she's also in a really, reeeeeally shitty looking CBS sitcom starting this fall.

anyway i see no reason to think season 2 would be any worse than 1 based on some casting announcements did anyone think it wouldn't be like this
