William Friedkin has met series creator Nic Pizzolatto and seems keen to get behind the camera again.
William Friedkin, the 78-year-old behind such classics as The French Connection and The Exorcist, looks likely to work on the next series of True Detective.
Friedkin says he has Nic Pizzolatto, the show’s creator, and is already a massive fan.
“I am considering it,” Friedkin said. “I like this writer [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,” Friedkin continued. “But I’m a fan of his writing, even though this will not be a continuation of what was done before with [Matthew] 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.”
