The friends are attached to star in True Detective, a potential anthology series currently being shopped to cable networks, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The duo would star as detectives Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson) whose lives become entangled while searching for a serial killer in Louisiana.

The project is being eyed as a potential eight-episode first season with following seasons replacing the cast and story -- a similar format that FX has employed for its freshman hit American Horror Story from Glee co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.

Nic Pizzolatto penned the project with Jane Eyre's Cary Fukunaga attached to direct all eight installments. Management company Anonymous Content -- who represents Pizzolatto and Fukunaga -- developed the project and will produce. The company's Richard Brown, Steve Golin and Brad Dorros will executive produce.

For McConaughey, the project would mark his first series regular commitment. Harrelson, meanwhile, would return to the small-screen with his first series regular gig following his run as the clueless but lovable Woody Boyd on Cheers.
McConaughey and Harrelson are repped by CAA.

一部熱門事件改編的警察劇集即將震撼登陸有線電視網(wǎng)市場，劇集由尼克·匹佐拉托(Nic Pizzolatto)負(fù)責(zé)編劇，好萊塢巨星馬修·麥康納(Matthew McConaughey)和伍迪·哈里森(Woody Harrelson)正在商議聯(lián)袂演出，而去年成功執(zhí)導(dǎo)了新版《簡愛》的凱瑞·福永(Cary Fukunaga)將會出任導(dǎo)演執(zhí)導(dǎo)全部首季8集。

目前劇集暫定名為《True Detective》，講述了兩名偵探Rust Cohle（McConaughey飾演）和Martin Hart（Harrelson飾演）他們在路易斯安那州追捕一名系列殺手17年，這段時間里他們內(nèi)心充滿了碰撞和糾結(jié)，因為當(dāng)案件在2012年被重啟審查時發(fā)現(xiàn)1995年的離奇命案因為警探的偽證而被誤判。這個系列的模式采用第一季8集講述一個完整故事，然后在后續(xù)季度里用相同結(jié)構(gòu)講述新角色和內(nèi)容。

這部劇集劇悉已經(jīng)由Pizzolatto和Fukunaga在內(nèi)部開發(fā)和前期制作中，暫時沒有公布人員名單的理查德·布朗(Richard Brown)、史蒂夫·高林(Steve Golin)和巴德·多羅斯(Bard Dorros)和上述兩位一同出任執(zhí)行制片人。這是第一部電視作品匯聚了McConaughey和Harrelson這兩位好哥們在一起演出，此前兩人在電影《艾德私人頻道》和《沖浪好手》有過合作。而對于在好萊塢有著穩(wěn)固地位的McConaughey來說更是第一個電視常規(guī)角色，巧合的是最近兩人都出現(xiàn)了HBO的電視作品中，McConaughey去客串了劇集《體育老師笑傳》，Harrelson則參與到了年度電視電影《規(guī)則改變》的演出中。兩人最新的電影作品分別是等待上映的《魔力麥克》（左上圖）和已經(jīng)票房爆棚的《饑餓游戲》。
