TRUE DETECTIVE SEASON 2 Starring Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn Media Release: Wednesday April 15, 2015 TRUE DETECTIVE SEASON 2 Starring Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn Monday’s from June 22 at 3.30pm express and 7.30pm primetime encore (same day as the US) only on Foxtel’s showcase. On Monday June 22, Foxtel’s second season of True Detective will debut with a new case and new cast on showcase. A sophisticated, riveting adult drama and a breakout hit for HBO, the first season won critical and audience praise for its compelling storyline and vivid, award-winning performances by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Created and written by Nic Pizzolatto, with executive producers, Nic Pizzolatto, Steve Golin and Scott Stephens and producer Aida Rodgers, season two will feature a complex, twisting plot, playing out both across the state, and in the seedy netherworld of Vinci, a fictional city in LA County. A bizarre murder brings together three law- enforcement officers and a career criminal, each of whom must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in order to reach the truth and find salvation in the scorched wilderness of California. Colin Farrell is Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective in the all-industrial city of Vinci, in LA County. Vince Vaughn is Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his life’s work when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of his business partner; while his ally in negotiating the corruption around him, his wife Jordan (Kelly Reilly), struggles with his choices and her own. Rachel McAdams is Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective often at odds with the system she serves. And Taylor Kitsch plays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle cop for the California Highway Patrol whose leave of absence in the midst of a scandal gets a reprieve when he discovers a crime scene which triggers an investigation involving three law enforcement groups, multiple criminal collusions, and billions of dollars. Other confirmed cast include Kelly Reilly (Jordan Semyon), Christopher James Baker (Blake Churchman), Afemo Omilami (Police Chief Holloway), Chris Kerson (Nails), James Frain (Lt. Kevin Burris). Guests cast include: Ritchie Coster (Mayor Austin Chessani), W. Earl Brown (Teague Dixon), Yara Martinez (Felicia), Matt Battaglia (Floyd Heschmeyer), Michael Irby (Elvis Ilinca), Timothy V. Murphy (Osip Agranov), Solomon Shiv (Michael Bugulari), Jamison Jones (Will Davidson), Christian Campbell (Richard Brune), Trevor Larcom (Chad Velcoro-Brune), Leven Rambin (Athena Bezzerides), David Morse (Eliot Bezzerides), Adria Arjona (Emily), Jon Lindstrom (Jacob McCandless), Lera Lynn (singer), Ashley Hinshaw (Lacey Lindel), Lolita Davidovich (Cynthia Woodrugh), Adria Arjona (Emily), C.S.

    "Life's most persistent and urgent question is; what are you doing for others?" -MLK OUR VISION For over a decade, MDC has helped establish rewarding relationships between thousands of individuals, businesses and charities who care deeply about the well-being of others and the community. Through our work (video production, event planning & consulting) we want to share stories that matter, organize events that build bridges, highlight extraordinary individuals, create simple and effective ways of giving back, and act as professional matchmakers. Our mission has always been to connect the people who want to help with the people who need help the most. From the start, we've witnessed heartbreaking scenarios where trauma and hardship causes a child or family to feel isolated and hopeless. Despite what we're taught, time is more precious than gold and we strive to make every day, hour and minute count. The world does not stop when tragedy strikes; but good people can and do. We enlist the help of caregivers across every business sector around the globe and rely on them to help us create special moments in time that bring hope and joy to those suffering through hardship. We've created an Active Response Team; an unofficial team of do-gooders who are willing to step up to the plate when needed. And just like the word "team" signifies, together everyone achieves more. MDC works by cause, not by client -- and in doing so, it allows us to foster collaboration and look after the interests of all involved. The impact we make by working together is more powerful and far-reaching than most individuals can achieve on their own.

They risked their lives and used their camera lenses to tell the world of the brutality and violence associated with the first free elections in post Apartheid South Africa in the early 90s. This intense political period brought out their best work – two won Pulitzers during the period – but cost them a heavy price. Based on the book of the same name by Marinovich and Silva, the film stars Ryan Phillipe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch and explores the thrill, danger and moral questions associated with exposing the truth. 2 ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Written and directed by Steven Silver, The Bang Bang Club is a Canada/South Africa co-production from producer Daniel Iron of Foundry Films Inc.
