Jodie Foster to Star in ‘True Detective’ Season 4 for HBO

for God's sake keep Matthew McConaughey out of it

If only they'd called her Clarice,

It’s set in Alaska? Too bad

Wouldn't "Dyke Country" have been a better name?

wow, very cool, I'm a fan of hers. I will definitely watch it!

[QUOTE] To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves

By scissoring it out of each other.

It sounds like a dyke fest.

WTF did she do to her face? It looks sharp as a knife.

I wish Jonathan Demme were still alive. I bet he would've directed a number of the episodes.

I carried darkness in myself too, but then I added fiber to my diet.

I hope there’s a monster in it!!!

Will she have a girlfriend in it?

Sounds faggy with old chicks.

Sofia Vergara would be a good steamy True Detective love interest for Jodie.

She's always been talented and taken chances with her choices. A real artist when so many just phone it in. I'll be watching.

She always phones it in. So wooden and inexpressive.

I, of course, will be watching.

The older Jodie gets the more she looks like Diana Muldaur

I'm low-key excited for this. When is it supposed to air? This could be her "Mare of Easttown".

Love Diana Muldaur R18. In youth a stunning beauty. Foster and Muldaur both project a quiet strength.

Does she need money? Why would she do TV?

[quote]Detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro

We know Foster will be Liz, so let's cast Evangeline!

I vote Rosario Dawson.

Amy Aquino wouldn't be a bad choice either.

R21 Some of the best roles are on TV. It's "prestige television". It started with The Spranos, and continued with Mad Men, Game of Thrones, etc. Lots of actors want to be able to really dig into a character that has more time to develop over the length of a series, as opposed to a single film. The best limited series are really lavish and well produced.

I betcha it's gonna be Clarice Starling meets Rust Cohle!

Filming just wrapped, here's the teaser.

No release date yet.

Looks leztastic!

(no, really, it does. There's a relationship implied in the trailer)

Fiona Shaw is in this too. So yeah, a lesbian dream.

Hell Yeah this looks good

You have very shapely feet, Clarice.

I don't know... twenty hours of Jodie as Kenny from Southpark?

[quote] This could be her "Mare of Easttown".

Oh god I hope not. It was an interesting watch, but Jesus Christ did it ever take itself seriously. It was virtually Nolan-esque or Mendes-ian in its self-reverence.

She looks like Cate Blanchett in the pic at OP. Not a good look.

Will she be playing a cold single mom who deeply cares about her child?

She looks like a "Liz Danvers".

"How scared do you have to be to run out in the ice without any shoes?"

Foster seems so humorless. It's the very reason why people tend not to like lesbians. She demands to be taken seriously, always. We get it, you have two Oscars and went to Yale. Laugh a little. A career built off of tough chick thrillers has left no room for joy around her. Would it kill her to do a comedy every once in a while? Still, I think this is a smart move for her and the show which has struggled to reach the heights of S1.

Intriguing! I'd definitely watch.

Did anyone watch season 3? Season 2 was so awful I didn’t bother.

Is Jodie and the Black cop chick getting it on in this series?

I'm looking forward to it, she's very good.

[quote]Foster seems so humorless. It's the very reason why people tend not to like lesbians.

Hmm. How 'bout if I write it like this?

George Santos is soooo swishy! It's the very reason why people tend not to like gay men.

Do you find that funny, R37? Because if you don't, you're a humorless gay man.

Was Jodie ever "hot"?

Agree her line delivery always seems wooden. The only bit I ever liked her in was in the restaurant scene in Taxi Driver where she's talking to DeNiro and eating a jelly sandwich or some similar gross shit. She was quite natural in that.

Well, I did drool over her in the Brave One, R43.

r39 I had the third season on in the background, it was barely watchable.

True Detective: Datalounge Detective Agency

The Gay One is a very gay movie. Zero chemistry with the male leads.

True Dykedective.

[quote] Was Jodie ever "hot"?

Yes.

I love Jodie. Can’t wait to watch it. She’s one of the few child stars who didn’t end up a mess and went to college.

[quote] Foster seems so humorless. It's the very reason why people tend not to like lesbians.

Really? She’s been hilarious on Colbert’s show. Her brother said all she did for awhile was watch Beavis and Butt-Head episodes. She seems to have a very good sense of humor.

Ho many Hollywood women have Jodie fucked? I guess someone of her calibre bagged the high femme chicks

Looks like Ms Foster will finally get her Emmy. Looks good and very lez

Jodie is good in the right roles, she seemed to lose interest in acting for a while. She also plays Nettie Bening's partner in the upcoming swimming biopic "Nyad".

^It's Bening's last Oscar shot. Wonder if the Academy would give give Jodie a 3rd Oscar in Supporting.

I loved TD S2!

Bening will win the Oscar for Nyad unless Lange beats her for Long Day's Journey Into Night.

True Detective: Dark Lesbians.

R58, isn’t Lange’s film a mess?

I'm hoping for the best for "Nyad", the script was on one of those "best unproduced screenplays" at one point but this is the Directors first effort, let's hope they (both) did well.

I would also love Lange to be nominated again.

I’m very skeptical after how stupid season 3 was

Is Jodie still refusing to go on stage due to the Hinkley incident? She could have had a second wind on Broadway.

R58 Bening may get continually snubbed for the win but no one gets better opportunities at great roles than she does - no not even Streep.

This thread caused me to watch The Brave One again. Still drooling.

I don;t mind at all if this is lesbionic, but I would hugely mind if this is woke bullshit, where they find they have to fight misogyny and xenophobia and fatphobia in Alaska. Has there been any indication yet if this is the case?

Here is the trailer.

Jodie looks like she's had no work done, which surprises me.

Was posted at r26 already, you're a full week late to the Jodie bashing party.

Is this still coming out in 2023?

No, it's been changed to 2024.

Still as wooden as ever, I bet.

[QUOTE] No, it's been changed to 2024.

God fucking damnit, I knew something was wrong. Who knows when the hell this thing is coming out now.

Those cheek piercings totally distract me.

I’ll watch

My god it screams dyke!

January 2024.

This fucking blows. The one show I was looking forward to watching and discussing here on DL in the autumn. At least we have The Gilded Age.

January 14th. Can’t wait!

Official trailer.

It’s funny that Jodie is one of the few actors that gay and straight audiences love.

As long as they don’t give her a boyfriend.

Which reminds me, I have to buy a plank of wood to make into a table.

Premieres this Sunday!

Jodie might finally win an Emmy. I'm surprised she hasn't done a TV show sooner. Something intelligent that plays to her strengths

Wow -- her skin looks creepy. Apparently she's not going the fillers route.

I was just "up home" visiting family and I was truly shocked how bad my skin looked there compared to when I'm here in FL. That cold, dry air must be hell on your face.

Hmm, not feeling it just yet after watching the premiere. Seems more Mare of Easttown meets Twin Peaks meets The Terror (season 2) than True Detective. One too many supernatural elements.

Also, I know Pizzolatto is a hack, but there's a polish to his dialogue that is nowhere to be found here, it's just one cliche after another. Some iffy acting, too. Nicely shot, though. Horrible soundtrack.

I'll persevere, for Jodie.

R43 She was hot in "Carny." And some might say SOTL.

I tried to watch the first season of True Detective but couldn't. Awful.

R85, I agree with everything you said. The Twin Peaks shit is probably the worst of it. After the soundtrack. But I will persevere for awhile. However, if it goes all mystical I'll bail at some point.

Only to add this is a show that always seems to get another chance, yet seldom lives up to it. It's good but is it gripping?

What does “True Detective” even mean?

These stories are as far from true detective work as you can get.

[quote]The title “True Detective” of the TV show has a couple of layers of meaning:

[quote]1. [bold]Historical Reference:[/bold] The title “True Detective” is taken from a pioneering pulp magazine called “True Detective”, which launched the true crime category in 1928. This magazine was known for its sensationalism and profiling of real-life crime.

[quote]2. [bold]Irony and Deconstruction:[/bold] The TV show, while disturbing, does not sensationalize its content. It is more concerned with philosophical truth and honesty. The show deconstructs both heroic character and what Joseph Conrad called “the fascination with abomination”.

[quote]3. [bold]Character Analysis:[/bold] The title could also refer to the differences between the main characters, Rust and Marty, suggesting that only one of them is the “true” detective. Rust is often truthful, even if others don’t like the truth, while Marty presents himself deceitfully to others.

[quote]So, the title “True Detective” is a complex interplay of historical reference, irony, and character analysis. It reflects the show’s exploration of truth, honesty, and the nature of detective work.

I wanted to like this more than I did. I didn’t hate it but were it not for Jodie…I’d be out!

It's intriguing, I'm in.

The premiere had a lot of great cinematography and enough intriguing elements to keep me watching. But it was also a little dull and plodding. The music choices were obnoxious; shows blasting songs during scenes to underline a point is getting exhausting. Leaning more fully into the supernatural aspects could be a mistake.

You know the music is bad when Reddit is bitching about the inclusion of Billie Eilish. Total vibe killer.

I've never seen anyone's cheeks pierced before.

Better than a tongue!
