Trailer for Ethan Hawke’s Blaze

June 23, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

IFC Films has released the first trailer for the upcoming musical biographical drama Blaze. Directed by Ethan Hawke, the film is based on the life of Blaze Foley and is adapted from Sybil Rosen’s novel Living in the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze. Newcomer Ben Dickey leads the cast as the country musician alongside Alia Shawkat, Josh Hamilton, Charlie Sexton, Richard Linklater, Alynda Segarra, Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn, and Kris Kristofferson; watch it here…

BLAZE is inspired by the life of Blaze Foley, the unsung songwriting legend of the Texas outlaw music movement that spawned the likes of Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. The film weaves together three different periods of time, braiding re-imagined versions of Blaze’s past, present and future. The different strands explore his love affair with Sybil Rosen; his last, dark night on earth; and the impact of his songs and his death had on his fans, friends, and foes. The braided storyline terminates in a bittersweet ending that acknowledges Blaze’s profound highs and lows, as well as the impressions he made on the people who shared his journey.

Blaze is set for release on August 17th.
