Ethan Hawke Should Adapt His Novels for the Big Screen
The Big Picture Ethan Hawke is much more than an actor; he’s one of the most singular voices in American art and literary culture and has made his talents evident in multiple fields.
While Hawke’s debut novel The Hottest State is an interesting piece of fiction from a first-time author that he did adapt for the screen in 2006, his 2002 follow-up Ash Wednesday is worthy of more consideration for its feature film potential. Ash Wednesday is a rather intimate novel that, similar to the Before films, consists almost entirely of conversations between two lovers.
Ethan Hawke’s Novels Are Unique, Like Him Many of the novels that Hawke has written are within the genres that Hollywood really should be making more of. He’s authored several books about exciting historical eras like Indeh: A Story of the Apache Wars and Rules For A Night. While the historical context necessitates a more complex production than something like Ash Wednesday, Hawke has appeared in a number of fantastic period pieces as recently as Robert Eggers' The Northman and 2020’s Tesla.
