“Blaze” began with two friends talking about Texas musicians. In 2015, during Ethan Hawke’s breaks from filming “The Magnificent Seven” in East Feliciana Parish, the actor-director and his longtime pal, singer-songwriter Ben Dickey, discussed making movies about singer-songwriters. “Not just Blaze Foley,” Dickey said a few weeks ago from New York City, where he and other “Blaze” principals attended the film’s New York premiere. “Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Steve Earl, Lucinda Williams.

He’s the man behind the songs “Clay Pigeons,” and “If Only I Could Fly.” He’s also the subject of country singer Lucinda Williams’ song “Drunken Angel.” Read More here

Ethan Hawke has been busy. In fact, he’s so busy that even when he’s trying to do nothing, he’ll often get an idea for a new project. “I look forward to those moments because no sooner do I do that, then I start refilling the tank,” Hawke said in an interview for ABC News’ “Popcorn With Peter Travers.” “I tend to be a little bit restless. I have been since I was young. And I like to do things I guess.” Read More here

Directed by Ethan Hawke, this biopic of folk singer Blaze Foley is a love letter to musicians everywhere and to the poetics of drunken songwriters as cowboy outlaws.
