Ethan Hawke and his daughter, Maya Hawke, decided to make a movie about Flannery O’Connor together. Then they brought in an old friend, Laura Linney. The trio reflect on their intimate familial and artistic bond.
for that. Linney has known Ethan Hawke for decades; they starred together in the latter’s Broadway debut,, in 1992, and have been close friends and occasional collaborators ever since. Ethan’s decision to cast her as Flannery’s—and Maya’s—mother holds intense significance, as does his narrative focus on the complex and tight bond between the two women.
That’s most evident when I meet the trio at a nearby café, sitting under the Colorado clouds at an outside table. There’s joy and curiosity and maybe a bit of anticipation for the first reactions to the smart, tricky—which interweaves O’Connor’s biography with reenactments of her short stories, with Hawke, Linney, and other actors stepping into multiple roles. We get into a deep, often funny chat about what these three artists mean to each other, and how they brought all that to this film.
And then I called Laura and I explained that to her, and Laura said, “I think that's a good idea too. Let's try to do that.” The wheels start turning and everybody starts working: “Well, not this, not that. No, not like that. Oh, I don't like biopics.” This thing evolves and turns into something you screen at 9:00 AM at Telluride on top of a mountain.
