Ethan Hawke goes back behind the camera for Wildcat, and here are details of his new film – plus a trailer.
Ethan Hawke is better known as an actor than a director, with a prolific career that has included many collaborations with Richard Linklater – the sublime Before trilogy, Tape, The Newton Boys and Boyhood stand tall. Plus, films as diverse as Dead Poet’s Society, Training Day, The Purge, Predestination and Lord Of War – the sequel to the latter is currently in development, with writer and director Andrew Niccol and star Nicholas Cage on board. It has not been confirmed if Hawke will appear.
However, he has also steadily built up an impressive career behind the camera. Besides co-writing the last two Before films with Linklater and Julie Delpy, he has directed several documentaries and three feature films – Chelsea Walls in 1999, The Hottest State, adapted from his own novel in 2006, and...

Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival, the leading cinema event in Central and Eastern Europe, will honor American actor, director, and writer Ethan Hawke, who will receive the Festival President’s Award at its 55th edition, taking place Aug. 20-28. The award is given to actors, directors, and producers who have “contributed in a fundamental way to the development of contemporary world cinema.”
“We are thrilled to welcome to Karlovy Vary an artist we’ve been admiring for a long time. In 2018, Kviff paid tribute to the Austin Film Society and it is exciting to extend our appreciation of this renowned organization’s work by honoring an actor and director who is so closely connected to the Texas independent film scene,” said artistic director Karel Och and executive director Krystof Mucha.
Hawke will personally introduce Paul Schrader’s thriller “First Reformed,” in which he portrays a parish pastor experiencing a crisis of faith.

The Oscar-nominated actor on his new novel set during a production of Henry IV, dealing with bad reviews and art’s role in examining all human behaviour
Ethan Hawke is an actor, writer and director, star of the films Dead Poets Society, Training Day and Boyhood. He has been nominated for Academy Awards for his acting, and for his writing on Before Sunset and Before Midnight. Hawke describes theatre as his first love and has featured in a number of plays by Sam Shepard, as well as in productions of work by Shakespeare, Chekhov, and his own second cousin twice-removed, Tennessee Williams.
Hawke’s first novel, The Hottest State, was published in 1996. His second, Ash Wednesday, came out in 2002. Now, with A Bright Ray of Darkness, Hawke brings us a novel that is structured around a stage production of Henry IV, Part 1. The book’s narrator, William Harding, is a...

Ethan Hawke is a notorious multi-tasker. He writes articles, books, and scripts — both “Before Sunset” and “Before Midnight” (with Julie Delpy and Richard Linklater) were nominated for Adapted Screenplay Oscars. He’s a gifted theater director (“A Lie of the Mind”), musician, and songwriter.
His day job has yielded a couple of Supporting Actor Oscar nominations (Antoine Fuqua’s “Training Day” and Linklater’s “Boyhood”). He can do everything from action westerns (“The Magnificent Seven” and the upcoming “The Kid”) to heist movies (Robert Budreau’s upcoming “Stockholm”) and sincere romance. And he’s having a good year: He’s in the running for a Best Actor nod for his performance as an angst-ridden priest in the Paul Schrader drama “First Reformed.”

When Ethan Hawke was 24, he became a Gen X pinup thanks to “Reality Bites.”
As Troy Dyer, a good-looking slacker and aspiring musician with a wisp of a Van Dyke beard and a duffel bag full of unearned wisdom about life and materialism, Hawke defined the fears and hopes of young adults in the MTV era. But fame had a stultifying quality for the actor, who says he had trouble coming to terms with the success of the 1994 romantic comedy-drama.
“When you’re in your early 20s and you’re still struggling to find out who you are, it pours gasoline on the fire of confusion,” says Hawke. “You don’t know north or south, east or west. Some people hated the [‘Reality Bites’] character and they hated me, or they loved the character and they loved me. I didn’t know enough about acting then to understand what was going on.

The actor-to-director transition is one that we’re seeing more and more often. But for every Clint Eastwood or Angelina Jolie there’s a Nicolas Cage (bet you forgot he directed 2003’s “Sonny”). Which is why it’s so exciting when a beloved actor like Ethan Hawke churns out a genuinely heartfelt and good film.
Hawke’s previous directorial efforts have mostly been centered around music, such as 2006’s “The Hottest State” and 2014’s “Seymour: An Introduction,” a documentary about pianist Seymour Bernstein.

Ethan Hawke has already delivered one of the year’s great performances thanks to his turn in Paul Schrader’s “First Reformed,” and now we get to see his skills behind the camera with his latest directorial effort, “Blaze.” The country music drama premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where it earned strong reviews and actor Ben Dickey a Special Jury Prize for Achievement in Acting.
“Blaze” tells the story of country musician Blaze Foley, a singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas who found success in the late 1970s and 1980s and ended being murdered in a tragic shooting. Hawke co-wrote the film with Foley’s romantic partner Sybil Rosen, played in the movie by Alia Shawkat. Sam Rockwell, Wyatt Russell, and Steve Zahn appear in supporting performances.
Hawke’s directorial career has been dominated by music-centric features, including 2006’s “The Hottest State,” which makes “Blaze” a natural fit for four-time Oscar nominee.

The first fiction feature film from actor Ethan Hawke since 2006’s The Hottest State, Blaze tells the story of the relatively unsung country musician Blaze Foley. The film’s star, Benjamin Dickey, won the Special Jury Award for Achievement in Acting at the Sundance Film Festival last week. Hawke hired editor Jason Gourson (The Magicians, Glee) to cut his impressionistic biopic. Below, Gourson speaks with Filmmaker about collaborating with Hawke and growing up as the son of a film editor. Filmmaker: How and why did you wind up being the editor of your film?

Ethan Hawke’s upcoming film, “Blaze,” has just added a number of actors to its already impressive lineup, including “Boyhood” director himself Richard Linklater. Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn, Wyatt Russell, Kris Kristofferson and Hawke will be joining Ben Dickey, Alia Shawkat, Sybil Rosen, Charlie Sexton, and Josh Hamilton in the music biopic based on singer and songwriter Blaze Foley.
Co-written, produced and directed by Hawke, the film is based on Sybil Rosen’s memoir ‘Living in the Woods in a Tree.’ It follows the life of the unsung songwriting legend of the Texas Outlaw Music movement that spawned the likes of Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Dickey will star as the musician, Shawkat plays Rosen and Rosen portrays her own mother.
Rosen, who co-wrote the film with Hawke, was Blaze’s real, life-long love and their passionate affair is said to form the narrative spine of the film.

This month, as we move deeper into Oscar-bait season, let’s take a moment to recognize the unexpected rebirth of Ethan Hawke, a solid Best Supporting Actor nominee possibility for his stirring performance in Boyhood. His upcoming documentary-directing debut, Seymour, about an elderly piano virtuoso, has already drawn positive notices. And his new film, Good Kill, was just picked up for wide distribution. It’s been a good year. This is quite a turn for Hawke. Remember, there was Uma Thurman, novels, the independent and action films he starred in, the screen adaptation of his novel The Hottest State, directing Chelsea Walls, the literary-prize committees, the Russian aristos he played on stage (Ivanov). Throughout, an aura of the mid-1990s always trailed Hawke, like a spritz of Ck One or a gulp of Zima. In every historical play he performed in (even Tom Stoppard’s Coast of Utopia), his entrance...

With David Fincher’s adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl opening Friday, the often fraught relationship between narrative cinema and written fiction is in the air, and has already produced an onslaught of comparison pieces between the book and the film. A filmmaker’s relationship to an author’s vision is a tricky one that is rarely assuaged by the author’s presence in the filmmaking process – difficult-to-navigate medium-specific capacities make difficult hurdles for even the most “cinematic” novels. But what happens when this process is inverted? And no, I’m not talking about novelizations, but the relatively rare instances in which established film directors publish novels independent of their cinematic output. No doubt, their cinematic output frames any readings of these books and – like the process of adapting a book to film – almost forces the reader ask about the artistic correspondence across medium. Sometimes, the intent in jumping across form is clear, as...

The New York Film Festival begins this Friday and Glenn continues our pre-fest coverage by looking at 'Seymour: An Introduction'.
It’s curious that Ethan Hawke has appeared on screen this year with Richard Linklater’s Boyhood and now returns behind the camera (after Chelsea Walls and The Hottest State) to direct Seymour: An Introduction. Curious because both films get their life-source from demographics at opposite ends of the age spectrum that are both treated somewhat like lepers of cinema. Teenage boys in Boyhood and kindly old senior citizens aren’t usually treated with such respect and humility as these two Hawke projects. I have not seen Hawke's two previous directorial efforts, but this first foray into documentary is a nice step for this Hollywood stay who has clearly wrestled with being an artist in an industry that doesn't necessary encourage it.

Ethan Hawke, obviously best known for his onscreen work (including the recent “Boyhood”), is expanding his repertoire as a director. “The Hottest State” director’s first documentary, “Seymour: An Introduction,” premiered at the Telluride Film Festival this year and continues its festival circuit with screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend. Not to be confused with the J.D. Salinger story of the same name first published in 1959, the film chronicles the life of pianist and Manhattanite Seymour Bernstein. Here’s the synopsis: Seymour Bernstein started playing the piano as a little boy, and by the time he turned 15 he was teaching it to others. He enjoyed a long and illustrious career of concertizing before he gave it up to devote himself to helping others develop their own gifts. Ethan Hawke’s lovely film is a warm and lucid portrait of Bernstein—his work habits; his memories of learning...

This world is indeed a dangerous place and according to Tiff Doc programmer Thom Powers’ it might just be the docu filmmakers and subjects who are truly the “rebels, resisters and risk-takers” of the festival. While there might be a couple of more docu items in store along with a look back at Michael Moore’s Roger & Me, both Toronto, and Telluride auds will be in for treats with the Cannes invited Gabe Polsky’s Red Army and Venice Film Festival competing The Look of Silence (see pic above) from Joshua Oppenheimer (which is easily our most anticipated doc of the year) and Robert Kenner’s Merchants of Doubt — about the greediest folk there are: the spinsters (prediction: look for Kenner to be invited on Real Time with Bill Maher).

It's not uncommon for movie and TV stars to make the jump from the screen to the printed page; many well-known actors have capitalized on their name recognition to help boost their profiles as emerging authors. Notable examples include Viggo Mortensen (Lord of the Rings), who found success with his self-published poetry; James Franco (This is the End) recently rolled out a well-received short story collection entitled Palo Alto; and Ethan Hawke (Sinister, The Purge) has won acclaim for the novels The Hottest State and Ash Wednesday. While we don't hear nearly enough about actors from the world of horror and sci-fi making a successful transition to those same genres in print, it's not as rare a phenomenon as you might think.

Ethan Hawke has had the most unique of careers: a bona fide film star who has avoided Hollywood. On the eve of Before Midnight, Emma John meets the actor, director, novelist – and music lover – in New York
Ethan Hawke is out and about in New York, the city he's lived in for 30 years, a place where famous faces slide past every day. He's wearing a baseball cap, a muddy brown hoodie and a schlubby pair of cords. It's an outfit you might think he chose especially to look nondescript, but in reality it's because he likes corduroy trousers, though his stylist hates them and wishes to God he wouldn't wear them in public.
Someone spots him and timidly approaches. As they lean forward Hawke can see the tears in their eyes. The fan trembles: "Mr… Dorff?" Hawke doesn't want to ruin their moment, so he gives a smile, shakes their hand.

In one version of the world, Ethan Hawke and Owen Wilson could have had nearly identical careers.
Both Texas-born and vets of the Austin indie filmmaking scene of the mid-90s, the two actors have since floated through independent, art house, and mainstream projects to varying degrees of success. Hawke, for the most part, stayed indie while Wilson went big. They are the story of Generation-x: Former malcontents grasping for authenticity and fame in an industry that is designed to make those dual aspirations somewhat impossible.

Mark Webber is not only a solid actor traversing both indie and mainstream worlds ("Broken Flowers," "The Hottest State," "Dear Wendy," "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World"), but he has also found his own voice and bloomed into a interesting writer/director in recent years. He released his debut "Explicit Ills" in 2009, and his sophomore directorial effort, "The End of Love" feels like another personal and intimate work. It also features a meta aspect at its core: he stars as an actor named Mark alongside his real-life, then-two-year-old son Issac. Here's the synopsis: When the mother of his two-year-old son suddenly passes away, struggling actor Mark is forced to confront his shortcomings. With his fate and his son's now intertwined, he grapples with his ability to grow up - stuck between the life he once knew and the one waiting for him. When he has a meaningful encounter with a young mother,...

Mark Webber is likable -- our kind of guy. His acting career is full of interesting, offbeat independent productions and challenging little roles ("Broken Flowers," "The Hottest State," "Dear Wendy" and of course, a bit more mainstream, "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World"). But the 32-year-old actor is also trying to tell his own stories and in recent years has evolved into a director/screenwriter as well, starting off with 2009's "Explicit Ills." His sophomore directorial effort looks like another small and intimate, personal work called "The End Of Love." It also boasts a meta aspect and stars himself as an actor named Mark and his real-life two-year-old son Issac.

From Broken Flowers to the highly overlooked The Hottest State to Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Mark Webber has had a healthy career in the indie drama scene (although that last feature was certainly his highest profile yet) and he’s now finally set to get his big break, but in a very different genre.
Coming off the three-punch of For a Good Time, Call.., Save the Date and his own The End of Love at Sundance, Webber has signed on to star in the next horror film from The Last Exorcism director Daniel Stamm, Variety reports. A remake of the Thai film 13: Game of Death, this one goes under the title of Angry Little God and it was just picked up by Dimensions Films for Us distribution. Check out an official synopsis below for the psychological thriller written by Stamm and David Birke and produced by Paranormal Activity‘s Jason Blum.

Everybody loves the underdog, right? In the case of these actors, however, that might not necessarily be true. Despite working in a cutthroat industry, the fact that many of the individuals on this list have never won a major award is an outrage. Some of them had the looks and all of them had the talent, but they were ultimately overlooked when it came time to hand out the honors. It is these errors in judgement that have continuously led to critics crying foul when the nominations are announced for the likes of the Oscars and the Golden Globes, not to mention some of the howlers that crop up in the technical categories. On the bright side many of these actors managed to carve out a niche as character actors if not leading men. Others built up cult followings with fans prepared to sit through their films no matter how bad.

Though Michelle Williams got her start on a show geared towards teenagers, she's built her already-illustrious career with serious roles that largely been far from family friendly.
To score her first Oscar nomination, Williams co-starred in the gritty, high-profile closeted gay cowboy feature, "Brokeback Mountain." Then, a string of dramas, such as "The Hottest State," "Incendiary," "Deception," "Wendy and Lucy," and "Synecdoche, New York," all of which earned R ratings from the MPAA. The acclaimed work led to two of the biggest roles of her life, in "Blue Valentine" and "My Week With Marilyn," but also, a bit of a parental dilemma: with daughter Matilda walking, talking and out of the nursery, it was a bit difficult for Williams to bring her to work.

Below, see here, is the trailer for the upcoming Showtime series, "The C Word." No. That can't be right. "The Big C." It's about cancer, specifically, Cathy (Laura Linney's cancer), and it's played for laughs. Not the ha ha funny funny kind of laughs, but the poignant grab-life-by-the-vulva I'm about to die kind of laughs. And it looks fantastic. And if the goddamn cable channels -- both basic and pay -- keep churning out what looks like fantastic shows like this, and "Treme," and "Justified," and "The Pacific," and "Breaking Bad," I'm never going to have enough goddamn time to watch them all. So, cool it on the fantastic shows for a while. Spring is around the corner, and I have things to do: Like, leave Facebook updates suggesting I'm out enjoying the sunny weather when, in fact, I'm huddled in front of a television screen craving its warmth.

Alexandra Daddario has signed on to star in Chris Columbus' upcoming adventure "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief."
The Hollywood Reporter says Daddario joins Logan Lerman and Brandon T. Jackson. The project is based on Rick Riordan's children's book; the first of five novels.
The story follows Poseidon's half-human son Percy, who sets out to prevent a war between gods in modern America. The trade says Daddario plays Athena's daughter Annabeth.
Columbus, who also helmed two of the "Harry Potter" films, wrote the screenplay with Craig Titley.
Daddario's acting credits include "The Squid and the Whale" (a film I loved) and "The Hottest State" (a film I mildly enjoyed).

Alexandra Daddario has nabbed the lead female role in Fox 2000's "Percy Jackson."
The actress joins Logan Lerman and Brandon T. Jackson in the fantasy-adventure movie being directed by Chris Columbus. Columbus and Craig Titley have adapted the screenplay from Rick Riordan's bestselling children's novel "The Lightning Thief."
The Greek mythology-inflected book involves Poseidon's half-human son, Percy, who's on a quest across modern America to prevent a war among the gods. Daddario will play Athena's teenage daughter, Annabeth, a warrior at Camp Half-Blood with Percy and potential romantic foil.
"The Lightning Thief" is the first of five novels about Percy Jackson and the Olympians -- the fifth, "The Last Olympian," is due in stores in May. The studio hopes to spin the books into a franchise in the "Harry Potter" mold; Columbus directed and/or produced three of those films for Warner Bros.

- Right before he settled down to have a family, Ethan Hawke dropped acting in favor of the Bill Shakespeare profession of writing. Almost a decade ago he published what was his first novel and what is today in 2nd time out in the director’s chair. Chelsea Walls - a forgettable talkie film with plenty of names and way too much talking was his debut, and The Hottest State (to be released by Th!NKFilm on August 24th) is his own book to movie adaptation. The film got a Venice premiere and didn't generate the sort of buzz that a Before Sunset would. ...

Training Day star Ethan Hawke's personal business office in New York was destroyed by a fast-moving fire on Sunday morning . The actor is currently directing and starring in a movie version of his first novel, The Hottest State. The fire broke out in a newly renovated office on the second floor of Hawke's office building and the blaze quickly spread all the way up to the fifth floor. As the fire worked its way up, it ripped through and completely destroyed Hawke's fourth-floor office and his post-production studio. Master tapes and negatives from Hawke's film, which also stars Michelle Williams and Laura Linney, were being stored off-site and were reportedly not destroyed by the fire.
