This Week in True Detective: The Future of Cary Fukunaga Edition

By Reuben Levine | Mar 19, 2016

This Week in True Detective brings the best of True Detective news from the past week.

Not all that much went on with True Detective or its past actors this past week, but that doesn’t mean that things were stagnate. There was a bit of news involving Cary Fukunaga that many of you may find exciting. Unless you dislikes what he did with the first season of True Detective, and in that case, how did you get here?

More from HBO

First up, HBO is finally producing a project that they’ve been holding on to a while. They may or may not be using it as a way to replace True Detective during its downtime. A comic book series that takes inspiration from True Detective is on track for release later this summer and has some major talent behind it. Speaking of True Detective inspired projects, a fan created a must-see short film.

Checking up on other projects, Alexandra Daddario is currently filming the Baywatch reboot and Colin Farrell’s The Lobster finally has a new release date after some studio shuffling. Colin Farrell also checked in with The Late Late Show with James Corden to play hide and seek. Yes, that’s a real thing and he did do it.

Finally, Cary Fukunaga is going to be very busy for the rest of this year going into the next. The Alienist is supposedly close to casting its lead actor — no word on the other roles yet — but he already has another project lined up. Fukunaga will direct yet another series, part of a greater deal with Paramount and Anonymous Content, and it will star Jonah Hill and Emma Stone. So how about that?

Next: Watch Colin Farrell play hide and seek.

Come chat with us this weekend on Facebook or Twitter. Assuming you won’t be quite as busy as Cary Fukunga, that is.
