William Friedkin (The Exorcist) Circling True Detective Season Two
Man, this news is just too good – should it come to fruition. True Detective was the best TV show this year, although Fargo came a close second. So to now hear that William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist (and The French Connection!) is circling the property, is probably the best news you could get for this series.
Here is what he told JoBlo;
“I am considering it.” said Friedkin. “I like this writer [Nic Pizzolatto] very much. I’ve met him, and he’s the real deal as far as I’m concerned. Now, all the new seasons are different so I’m not committed — this new season has nothing to do with the last one. Except for him and his sensibility, which I think is extraordinary…I can’t say much more at this time. But I’m a fan of his writing, even though this will not be a continuation of what was done before with McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. So what you can say is I’m a huge fan of his writing, I’ve met with him, I like him, I like the direction he’s taking with this.”
