Richard Linklater & Ethan Hawke Talk ‘Blue Moon’ And The Value Of Subversive Filmmaking: “When We Prioritize Money We Get Generic Art” — Berlin


‘Blue Moon’ is Richard Linklater & Ethan Hawke's ninth collaboration.

“They gave up on me a long time ago,” filmmaker Richard Linklater joked this afternoon during a press conference for his latest flick, Blue Moon. The veteran Golden Bear winner was referring to the Hollywood film industry, and what he believes they have given up on is his ability to make traditional, commercially-minded movies. The film is set primarily in Sardi’s Restaurant on March 31, 1943, the opening night of Oklahoma!, which marked Rodgers’s first collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II as Hart’s replacement.
