The Big Picture Fresh off the success of Hit Man, Richard Linklater's next project is set to film soon - and has already secured a star-studded cast. Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale, and Andrew Scott are all set to star in Blue Moon. The film has been acquired by Sony Pictures Classics, and will begin filming in Dublin, Ireland this summer.
Blue Moon is a longtime passion project for Linklater, and will center around the final days of famed songwriter Lorenz Hart, who with collaborator Richard Rodgers wrote a number of classic showtunes, including "The Lady Is a Tramp", "My Funny Valentine", and "Bewitched, Bothers and Bewildered". "Blue Moon", from which the film takes its title, was one of their most popular songs, and was famously covered b Elvis Presley.
On November 17, 1943, Hart went on a drinking binge on the opening night of a revival of his and Rodgers' musical A Connecticut Yankee; he subsequently developed pneumonia from exposure and died four days later. The film will be primarily set a few months earlier, at Sardi's restaurant on the opening night of Oklahoma!, Rodgers' first collaboration with his new partner, Oscar Hammerstein II.
