Trailer for Ireland-filmed Blue Moon is released
The trailer for Blue Moon, the new film from director Richard Linklater, which was filmed in Ireland and stars Andrew Scott, Margaret Qualley, and Ethan Hawke, has been released. Written by Robert Kaplow (Me & Orson Welles) and produced in association with the Dublin-based Wild Atlantic Pictures, Blue Moon was filmed in Ireland last summer. The upcoming comedy-drama, which had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, follows the final days of Lorenz Hart (Hawke), part of the legendary American mid-twentieth-century songwriting duo Rodgers & Hart. The film is set primarily in Sardi's Restaurant in New York on 31 March, 1943 on the opening night of the musical Oklahoma!. This was a significant date, as it marked Rodgers's (Scott) first collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II (Simon Delaney), who was Hart's replacement. The dense, lyrical script sees Hawke take centre stage for almost the entire 100-minute movie. Dublin actor Scott won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Berlin International Film Festival for his performance as Richard Rodgers.
