Colin Farrell + Vince Vaughn = #WeddingCrashers2. JK, it’s #TrueDetectiveSeason2, but I would’ve been down for the other, too.

Yes to Vince in the new True Detectives 2. Watch “Clay Pigeons” and I rest my case. #VinceVaughn #TrueDetectiveSeason2

Vince Vaughn to “True Detective,” Jeffrey Tambor starring in “Transparent.” How soon before there’s a crossover? http://t.co/hih3D2rrAC

Others, not so much …
HBO knows #TrueDetective isn’t obligated to employ stars in need of career comebacks, right?

So #TrueDetectiveSeason2 apparently signed Colin Farrell and will be filmed in LA. They need a quadruple McConaissance to pull this off.

… Heh … cats.
Others kind of just sounded like Rust Cohle …
Seriously, with few exceptions I don’t get excited about casting notices, pro or con. The season will be good, or it won’t. We’ll see.
