Finally! I know it was a given, but is nice to see some official news. I'm so excited for Rachel McAdams!
ReplyDeleteFinally!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Regina, you have come a long way!
ReplyDeleteI'm calling for a "made for cable/MA" sex scene for Taylor Kitsch and Rachel McAdams and I don't even care. I cannot wait for S2.
ReplyDeleteYay official confirmation. Happy about Taylor I was blown away by his performance in The Normal Heart. Also delighted with Rachel.
ReplyDeleteaccording to IMDB Aidan Gillen (Game Of thrones) has also been cast for the new season.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Very excited especially for Rachel McAdams!!!
ReplyDeleteI just looked there too! Ha! XD
ReplyDeleteWow...they're really continuing with the trend of hiring high profile movie actors. Not that I'm complaining.....Rachel McAdams is great.
ReplyDeleteWell...
ReplyDeleteFarrell hasn't done anything high profile in the last few years
Vaughn hasn't either
if anything both were on the decline in terms of popularity and Kitschs latest movies ALL tanked at the BO.
Nice to have some finality to this seemingly eternal Season 2 casting!
ReplyDeleteTo me, they're all very well known actors in the movie industry regardless of their recent movies. But that's just my perception.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait! It was good that they took the time for this and are not rushing into it so that way it is the best it can be.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Just when I see Rachel McAdams in the first episodes I'll give credit for that!
