Broadway history gets the big screen treatment in the 2025 new movie Blue Moon, the latest collaboration between Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater. The movie tells the story of Lorenz Hart, a lyricist who was a collaborator of the famed Richard Rodgers before he became eclipsed by the pairing of Rodgers and Hammerstein.
Of course Hawke and Linklater are themselves a significant duo. Together they’ve made the Before trilogy (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight), The Newton Boys, Waking Life, Fast Food Nation and Boyhood. Blue Moon marks their seventh collaboration, but the first since Boyhood 11 years ago.
