Judging from the trailer, what we know about the season's plot from the initial press release, and the filming locations that they've been to, I think it's going to be set partially in Norther California, for the scary rural white people setting of the show, to repeat what rural Louisiana could do in season one, and then they seem set to go to the San Fernando Valley (they filmed near Ventura Blvd and Studio City a little bit) for their LA proper section, and I think that's where Vince Vaughn will come into play.

The trailer opens on the 14/5 interchange that takes you out of Los Angeles County and to either Palmdale or Bakersfield, and further than that to Central and Northern California, but that opening shot is a hint that the division between big city California and its rural and poorer counterpart will be a theme. That some parts of California are poor because some parts of it are rich, with transportation being for this story what California water was for "Chinatown" (this theme was alluded to in the press release from a year ago, so we're just connecting the trailer to that).

And visually I'm guessing a cross between Vince Vaughn playing the kind of scumbag that would've been in "Magnolia", and Colin Ferrell driving in the same parts of town, and in the same moral atmosphere, that Ryan Gosling explores in "Drive," or that's featured in the show Justified, which is supposed to be Kentucky but is actually filmed in Green Valley, south of Palmdale.

Vince Vaughn obsessively caring for a one story Sherman Oaks home, and then cutting back to Colin Ferrell in a cowboy motel an hour north, packing and unpacking an old school briefcase over and over again.

That'll be the show.

True Fact: All of Season 1 was filmed in and around Acton, Ontario.

Here's where they run across Green Ears for the first time.

looks like a true religion X hipstamatic collaboration

watching the trailer again last nite i was struck by the thought of how cool it would be if S2 had no dialogue at all

well, nobody's tried that for a series before

more like we get the demotion to prestige cable we deserve

Alexander! Fred Claus! The Time Traveller's Wife! John Carter!

Together they are....ready to take tv meetings

blatant farrell slander, unacceptable

tbf kitsch came from TV i don't think he really minds

oh i'm sure all of them are kissing the ground in gratitude

even mcadams - who's got the least turkeys (poor kitsch got slaughtered with john carter and battleship right out the gate), could use a juicy prestige role to get her out of romcomland

to be clear, i like farrell but damn america has been very, VERY consistent in having no interest in seeing a movie with his name first in the credits. and vaughn's been in freefall over the last decade.

in terms of gross/budget ratio, the only movie with Colin Farrell first in the credits to be even remotely a hit is Phone Booth, which is hilarious. I guess I we just don't like seeing him talk to other people.

runner-up is In Bruges, which tbf did quite well outside the US
