Ethan Hawke Stars In BORN TO BE BLUE Trailer

Ethan Hawke shines as legendary jazz musician Chet Baker in BORN TO BE BLUE. Written and directed by Robert Budreau, the film beautifully re-imagines Baker’s comeback in the late 60’s, driven in part by a romance with Jane (Carmen Ejogo).

Check out the new trailer below.

Ethan Hawke lights up the screen as jazz legend Chet Baker, whose tumultuous life is thrillingly reimagined with wit, verve, and style to burn. In the 1950s, Baker was one of the most famous trumpeters in the world, renowned as both a pioneer of the West Coast jazz scene and an icon of cool. By the 1960s, he was all but washed up, his career and personal life in shambles due to years of heroin addiction. In his innovative anti-biopic, director Robert Budreau zeroes in on Baker’s life at a key moment in the 1960s, just as the musician attempts to stage a hard-fought comeback, spurred in part by a passionate romance with a new flame (Camen Ejogo).

Creatively blending fact with fiction and driven by Hawke’s virtuoso performance, BORN TO BE BLUE unfolds with all the stylistic brio and improvisatory genius of great jazz.

BORN TO BE BLUE opens in theaters March 25, 2016, and available on VOD March 31, 2016.
