Ethan Hawke Explains Why The Blazy Foley Biopic 'Blaze' is Not a Biopic | Sundance 2018 

I lived in Austin at the time of Blaze making the "tape". Worked the day job with musicians on the tape, jammed with them, remember the look on their faces (John Casner, TDMHMR) when he died. I still have the original tape, still remember the words. Incredible songs and heart.

A friend sent me a picture the other day of Ethan at a Alt Country bar in my hometown of Houston, they were playing there that night, & I'm like why the hell is Ethan Hawke in Houston on August 27th , well, I find out from other freinds that the release of this movie on Blaze Foley were doing a showing at the Landmark, West Gray, it's the art district of Houston, I lived off W. gray, my Dad lived there during the 60s when he was a bouncer at Country clubs, I digress, so it was really nice that Ethan hung around to check out the music scene here in Houston, cant wait to see this film, Foley reminds me a lot of John Prine with some Townes thrown in. Thanks to Ethan for keeping this music relevant & memorialized.

BLAZE FOLEY IS THE BEST

I can't thank you all enough for making this picture!

Excellent, excellent film - saw it at the London Film Festival with no real knowledge of the subject matter and I'm really glad I did.

Goddamn, they're making a Blaze movie, damn!

I hope it’s good. I love Blaze Foley’s music.

Blaze was greatly unapreciated in his time. Amazing songwriter.

The guy Willie Nelson pretended to be! WOW!! WEE!

Blaze foley. non conoscevo quesro cantante, ma dopo aver visto il film al torinofilmfestival, ho cominciato ad apprezzarlo. Ho sempre amato la musica country. non vedo l'ora che esca il film nelle sale italiane.

Why this film hasn’t got a U.K release is beyond me!

Beautiful Film

Excellent movie. Haunting. You will NEVER forget it. Thank you all who helped to make it. :)

When isnthe movie going to be available?

Blaze Foley and Willie Nelson are completely different.

Everyone did a wonderful acting job in this flick.

Just watched the trailer. It looks and sounds so beautiful. Blaze music is pure and I want to watch this movie.

I love you Ethaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn , And even if it costs my life I won't stop loving you

Charlie Sexton? SOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blaze played a lot in a bar i worked in down on the Drag in Austin. He didn’t play a guitar, he hammered it. A big man, he could have his moments late at night when he was lit. Remember when we all heard Blaze was shot over in east austin, killed. Knew a lot of folkies, sad day for all, life goes on.

Where can I watch this??!!

A true dude

Ethan is the Brando of our time and is supremely under appreciated

LOOK!...the guy was covered by John Prine.

In case anyone want to make thom yorke biopic, call this guy.

Ugh Alia is so beautiful

Willie Nelson if anything inspired Blaze Foley seeing as how Willie started playing music publicly about 20 years before Blaze. Ethan have some respect please. Take it back.

Blaze opened many shows for the band I was in, and often called me over the mic to sing harmony on a song or 2. There were MANY Texas songwriters I considered better. Perhaps Blaze was the more ‘cinematic’. RIP.

Wow gotta see this movie......

Never thought of Willie Nelson pretending

Blaze is the man.

Bio pic or Buy awpic?

Fix your title. It's obviously not "Blazy Foley"

Does it really interest you?

No, I am not going insane. I have watched several interviews with Ethan Hawke about his Blaze Foley movie and he consistently pronounces "biopic" as "BUY-oh-pick." I always thought it should be "buy-AH-pick" as in "biography." Turns out, his way is the British way. How do you guys pronounce it?

Acting.

Sadly it's terrible , almost nonsense , I was very disappointed. 😢

More Weinstein kooks!

Ethan has never had a good movie or played a good part in a movie besides explorers in the 80s. all his movies suck and I am not the only one who thinks this
