Jessica Chastain To Star in True Detective Season 2?

Nerdist.com is reporting that Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain (The Help) has been offered a lead role in Season 2 of HBO's True Detective. Show creator Nic Pizzolatto was rumored to be writing a more female centric story for the show's sophomore season. Chastain would bring some major acting credentials and a strong female presence to the show. Sounds like a win-win. As for Chastain's potential partner the most suspected actor is Brad Pitt (Inglorious Bastards). His name has been rumored since the Season 1 finale. If I was to make a guess I'd say Pitt will be in Season 2. Over the weekend Pitt was seen throwing a beer from across a balcony to Season 1's star Matthew Mcconaughey. Sure as hell looks like a "thanks for believing in me" beer to me. True Detective will shoot this summer and be released next January.
