He's on to be the legendary jazz trumpeter
Jazz seems to be very in at the moment, with Don Cheadle at work on a Miles Davis film and Whiplash bringing the intensity of jazz drumming to screens. Ethan Hawke is looking to get in on the act, playing trumpet iconic Chet Baker in Born To Be Blue .
Robert Budreau has written and already begun directing the film, which will primarily shoot in Sudbury, located in Ontario. Hawke, who has been involved with the development on the project, will be playing Baker at a later stage of his life, having come through years of drug abuse to stage a comeback.
Carmen Ejogo and Callum Keith Rennie are on board to co-star in the movie, which will be out touting for buyers at this year’s American Film Market next month.
Hawke was most recently seen in Boyhood, and has Shakespeare adaptation Cymbeline plus the thriller Regression awaiting release. He’s also been at work on Ti West’s revenge Western In A Valley Of Violence.
