Great news if true. She's a terrific actress. Maybe they will cast Ellen Page or Olivia Thirlby as her partner. Or Charlize Theron
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteEven if Chastain does not take the role, I'm excited to see the quality of actress HBO is looking for as the next Lead of True Detective!
She would be a excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteBrad Pitt and her would be one hell of a cast.
ReplyDeleteThat was be amazing, I'm not surprised they are going for movie stars!
ReplyDeleteGet Glenn Close!
ReplyDeleteEveryone can dream so I might say Julianne Moore + Jodie Foster.
ReplyDeleteYou know that isn't too crazy, Julianne has worked with HBO before and Jodie recently directed for TV in the form of House of Cards and OITNB, Would be a great combo!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope someone from HBO reads SpoilerTv ... ;-)
ReplyDeleteWould love if the got Gillian Anderson.
ReplyDeleteLoved the first season, so whoever they get I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI would have to watch this thing at the hospital, no kidding.
ReplyDeleteEllen Page, Kate Mara, Emma Stone, I read were also in the running and then there's also the Brad Pitt rumor too...
ReplyDeleteI would love if Chastain is one of them though!
That would be fun depending on how they will go about season 2..If it will remain urban legend-ish or more polished or not, but it sounds like there will still be urban legendy atmosphere, because it's about some conspiracy behind the American transportation system (which could refer to so many things: trains, cars, airplanes, ect).
ReplyDeleteWanna impress me? Get Meryl Streep. You do that, HBO, and you earn my eternal respect.
ReplyDeleteBoth Clarice Starlings together?! I'm sold!!! XD
ReplyDeleteI doubt it but that would be an awesome choice..
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteclaire danes from homeland will be perfect
ReplyDeleteBut she is under contract.
ReplyDeletecant they do while she is not filming???
ReplyDeleteWell that's a shame. I would love this gorgeous red hair actress in the lead role for True Detective Season 2.
ReplyDeleteShe'll be different,wait until you see her in The Fall!
ReplyDeleteOh i saw her in that fabulous show. If i'm not mistaken i believe they already started filming S2 of The Fall.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised is Gillian saying yes.The Fall already started filming and its not 22 episodes,unless they changed and ordered more. Same with Hannibal,its a shortened season,could leave room for her to work on it...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I heard though I haven't heard when it airs.
