Straight off the massive critical success of Hit Man, Richard Linklater sets his new movie, Blue Moon, at Sony Pictures Classics. The studio has acquired worldwide rights to the movie, with Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale, and Andrew Scott to star.
Robert Kaplow will write the screenplay of the movie, which will profile “the final days of Lorenz Hart, part of the hit songwriting team Rodgers & Hart, and is set primarily in Sardi’s Restaurant on March 31, 1943, the opening night of Oklahoma!, Rodgers’ first collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II as Hart’s replacement.”
In a statement, Linklater said, “Robert, Ethan, and I have been developing this story for over a decade and are excited and grateful that the time has come to bring this to life.”
Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Classics said, “Almost a year ago, Rick, Ethan, and John reached out to us with Robert Kaplow’s amazing script BLUE MOON. Helping them over the following months to bring it together has been incredibly exciting, and now, on the verge of production, with this fantastic cast and crew in place and Rick at the helm, we are thrilled to finally announce it and bring the film to audiences everywhere in the world.”
