Dennis Quaid gives BTS look at Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson ad: Texas wants to be ‘the New Hollywood’

Time is a flat circle. 

“True Detective” stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson recently reunited for an attention-grabbing ad — joined by other stars like Dennis Quaid, Renée Zellweger and Billy Bob Thornton.

“It was a really fun day. It took all of about three hours to do. And we just had a blast,” Quaid, 70, exclusively told The Post about filming the commercial. 

The ad is called “True To Texas” and was created by George Lane and directed by “True Detective” creator Nic Pizzolatto. Its purpose is to urge filmmakers to make Texas a creative destination, and to urge the Lone Star State’s legislature to create new incentives for film and TV productions in the state.

Quaid, who was born and raised in the state, joins famous Texans Harrelson, 63, and McConaughey, 55, in the ad, as all three actors drive around in a car on-screen. 

In exclusive Post photos, they can be seen smiling in the car between takes. They also call Thornton, 69, and Zellweger, 55, who is Texas-born, to discuss their wish to bring more of the film and TV industry to Texas.
