Variety interview
Vaughn talks about working with Nic Pizzolatto for season 2 of True Detective. The series of eight hour-long episodes focuses on a career criminal and three police officers who involve themselves in a conspiracy theory.
Nic is very unique because he writes literally every episode by himself. And it’s such adult storytelling. You investigate a specific culture and really climb in and explore it over a long period of time.
On Air interview
Seacrest interviews Vaughn during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his hand and footprint ceremony held at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre forecourt.
It was cool. Jon Favreau introduced me and we used to live just east of there in Los Feliz and Hancock Park when he came up and wrote Swingers. We used to walk around in Hollywood and the Chinese Theater is one of those places you walk by and kind of look at all the names and stuff. To be included in that the other day was great.
Maxim Interview
Vaughn talks to Maxim about directing and starring in the movie The Internship:
I saw a 60 Minutes piece on Google as a place to work. It was such a foreign concept from what I understood as a regular job. There’s free food, sleeping pods, Ping-Pong. I’m the kind of guy who likes to get involved in everything— I’d be all over the Ping-Pong. I also thought, unfortunately there are a lot of people currently losing jobs, and things are moving in different directions. So a lot of older people are finding themselves unemployed and without the necessary skill set that is in demand now. It’s this: Oh, gosh, where do I land? So I’m really proud of this movie. I feel like it’s really a movie of this moment we live in.
