Blue Moon will reunite Linklater with Robert Kaplow, whose novel Me and Orson Welles inspired Linklater’s 2008 film of the same name. It will center on the legendary songwriting duo Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, and it will be set on the night of the Broadway opening of the legendary musical Oklahoma!, which saw Rodgers collaborate with Oscar Hammerstein II as Hart’s replacement for the first time.

This is a long-time passion project for Linklater and Hawke, and they’re excited and grateful to finally bring it to life after developing the story for over a decade. Hawke previously collaborated with Linklater on several projects, including the Before trilogy and Boyhood.

In addition to Hawke, Blue Moon will also star Margaret Qualley (Drive-Away Dolls), Bobby Cannavale (The Watcher), and Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers).

Sony Pictures Classics’ spokesperson said they’re thrilled to finally announce this project is officially happening after developing it with Linklater for a full year. Their relationship goes all the way back to the 90s when they distributed his film SubUrbia before joining forces on Before Midnight.

Written for Netflix by Julia Bicknell, Forever, Interrupted will center on a whirlwind romance between Elsie and Ben, which quickly takes a tragic turn. Months into their marriage, Elsie must deal with immense grief after Ben tragically dies, but that’s just the start of her troubles.

Elsie must also face her mother-in-law Susan, who wasn’t even aware of her existence, but their at-first turbulent connection will ultimately bring them to cathartic new beginnings.

Forever, Interrupted will be told through dual timelines, and A24 is coming on board as the studio behind this project. Author Taylor Jenkins Reid will serve as one of its executive producers alongside Dern, Qualley, Jessica Rhoades, Alison Mo Massey, Brad Mendelsohn, Jayme Lemons, and Brett Hedblom.

Margaret Qualley previously found success with the role in Netflix’s mini-series Maid, for which she received an Emmy nomination. As for Laura Dern, she won an Oscar for her supporting turn in Netflix’s Marriage Story, while her recent TV roles include Big Little Lies, Twin Peaks, and Palm Royale.
