Earlier this year, he premiered Blue Moon — starring Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale, and Andrew Scott —at the Berlinale. Sony Pictures Classics has now confirmed a fall release window for this drama.
Described as “a funny Valentine to old Broadway,” the film's synopsis reads:
“On March 31, 1943, legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart grapples with his shattered self-confidence in Sardi’s bar while his former collaborator Richard Rodgers celebrates the opening night of his groundbreaking musical Oklahoma!”
Linklater is also finalizing his next project, Nouvelle Vague, a tribute to the French New Wave that chronicles the making of Breathless, styled after Jean-Luc Godard’s iconic debut. While it seeks U.S. distribution, French distributor ARP Sélection has confirmed an October 8 release in France with a runtime of 105 minutes.
The cast features Guillaume Marbeck as Jean-Luc Godard and Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, among others. David Katz praised Blue Moon as a beautifully personal work that showcases Linklater's artistic maturity.
Stay tuned for updates on a potential Cannes Film Festival debut for Nouvelle Vague, U.S. distribution details, and a specific fall date for Blue Moon.
