Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson sharing a screen is surely enough to sell any project? And this isn't even a movie. The pair have teamed up for True Detective, a new HBO show in which they play detectives on the hunt for a Louisiana serial killer over the course of 17 years (wigs ahoy!)
The cause of True Detective is further helped by the fact it looks really weirdly beautiful, as you can see in these five new teasers. Directed by Cary Fukunaga (Sin Nombre, Jane Eyre) it has a darkly dreamlike look that makes us think this might be something quite special. But it doesn't start until January. So we'll just have to get our heads down and get through the rest of the year. Stupid 2013. Stupid Christmas.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
