Because the 2025 Netflix information constructed up all of its hype-worthy choices–Glad Gilmore 2, Wednesday, the tip of Stranger Issues, and so many others–I assumed it couldn’t get higher. However the newly introduced mission that the streamer simply picked up is a pleasant shock that I didn’t know I’d be so hyped about, as a result of it’s going to reunite Dazed and Confused alumni Matthew McConaughey and Cole Hauser
It was confirmed that each the Interstellar star and the Yellowstone actor have been hooked up to the brand new present created by Nic Pizzolatto, creator of True Detective, by Selection. Each are additionally presently figuring out offers with Netflix as of this posting. We additionally know that the actors will play brothers. So, primarily based on all that, let’s chat about why that is so thrilling.
I’m Excited For And Intrigued By McConaughey And Hauser’s Reunion
Though I’m thrilled to have an on-screen reunion between two stars of one of many greatest highschool motion pictures, I’m shocked that Hauser, particularly, is hooked up. That is primarily as a result of he’s deep within the Taylor Sheridan-verse and is presently engaged on the brand new Rip and Beth spinoff collection, which is one in every of many Yellowstone spinoffs within the works. So, with that in thoughts, I am curious to see how scheduling will work out for this new collection when he is actively engaged on one other main tv present.
I additionally suppose it is price noting how a lot Hauser’s star has risen since he began enjoying Rip on Yellowstone. Whereas he had outstanding roles earlier than it, this half has outlined this chapter of his profession, and I am unable to wait to see him tackle a completely new half whereas he is additionally enjoying his beloved cowboy.
The Oscar winner signing on is intriguing, too. After his transient after which partial hiatus from Hollywood, he made his full return this 12 months with a standing ovation-worthy western, The Rivals of Amziah King. So, I can solely think about this small display entry with True Detective creator Pizzolatto at his aspect shall be a slam dunk.
All-in-all, I’m hyped concerning the two McConaughey worlds assembly, and I am unable to wait to see what this mission will turn out to be, particularly since Dazed and Confused birthed the legendary ‘alright, alright, alright’ line.
In the event you couldn’t guess, I like any alternative to yap about Dazed and Confused. It’s a type of oddball classic motion pictures that labored off vibes as an alternative, and it was stacked with younger stars earlier than they hit it huge. And, as talked about, the approaching Netflix Pizzolatto collection will star two of the actors from the 1993 flick.
The chaotic coming-of-age movie zeros in on the final day of college in 1976 and the occasions of the forged of characters, together with McConaughey’s Peter Pan-like David Wooderson and Hauser’s football-playing, freshman-hazing Benny O’Donnell. It’s a time capsule, and should you haven’t seen it, it’s best to watch it as a result of it’s a you must see to consider all of the goings on.
Conveniently, the Hauser and McConaughey indie basic is out there to stream with a Netflix subscription. As for the long run Netflix collection and their reunion, keep watch over CinemaBlend for updates about this shock team-up.
