What this implies for the Blue Moon
It's one other nice collaboration between Linklater and Hawke
Blue Moon marks the ninth collaboration between Linklater and Hawke, and it's a ardour mission that's been a very long time within the works between the 2. Introduced in June 2024 and named after the 1934 ballad by Richard Rodgers and Hart Blue Moon will inform the story of the doomed partnership between Rodgers and Hart – who collaborated between 1919 and the early Nineteen Forties and created 28 musicals and wrote over 500 songs – and the ultimate days of their partnership.

Our opinion on the primary picture of the blue moon
There are numerous guarantees
I take all hypothesis based mostly on mere photographs with a grain of salt, however what caught my consideration have been the interval costumes worn by Qualley and Hawke. It will be good to see one other interval drama from Linklater since his final interval drama, Me and Orson Welleswas additionally written by Blue Moon author Robert Kaplow. It's additionally thrilling to see how Linklater will use Qualley, because the movie marks the primary collaboration between the 2. Due to these collaborations, I've excessive hopes for Blue Moon and its upcoming world premiere.
