Caption: A thoughtful and engaging conversation with Ethan Hawke and director Richard Linklater about their new film Blue Moon. The interview covers the film’s delicate tonal balance between comedy and sadness, the ten-year development process, and the unique creative partnership between Hawke and Linklater. Ethan discusses the challenges of portraying Lorenz Hart — from the emotional complexity to the physical transformation required to capture the character’s height and presence. The discussion also explores the nostalgia and influence of classic musicals, Rodgers & Hart, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Chet Baker, and the importance of mood in filmmaking. The pair reflect on 30 years of collaboration, creative shorthand, and how their shared history shapes the work they make today. Ideal for use in press kits, online metadata, archives, and editorial workflows.
