Blue Moon tells the story of Broadway songwriter Lorenz Hart and his struggles with alcoholism and mental health during the opening of Oklahoma!.
Ethan plays Lorenz while Margaret stars as his protégée and Yale student Elizabeth Weiland.
Andrew plays Lorenz’s longtime composing partner, Richard Rodgers.Â
Lorenz is known for the lyrics to songs such as Blue Moon, The Lady Is A Tramp, Manhattan and My Funny Valentine.Â
The film, from Richard Linklater, is set for release on October 24 through Sony Pictures Classics and Renovo Media Group.
Ethan has opened up about his transformation into a balding Hart – who also stood at five feet tall.
The actor shaved his head for the leading role which was topped with a greasy comb over style – which Ethan expressed was ‘demolishing to my vanity,’ per The Hollywood Reporter.
‘We did it with old stagecraft thing, to make me look shorter, but all day long, I was lower than I am in real life, doing scenes just staring up at Margaret Qualley.’

He reflected” ‘It’s very interesting how people treated you differently, particularly the way women treat you…Everybody giggles at you, they poke your ear, they pat your head and they don’t take you seriously.
‘It was very really important for me to understanding Larry Hart and how he moved through the world.’
His outing comes after Ethan revealed that he finds it ‘crazy’ that actors get cast in projects solely based on their Instagram following.
The Before Sunrise actor shared his thoughts on the topic during an appearance at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival in February.Â
The star explained he is baffled by the idea that social media followers are considered by some casting directors to be more important than talent and experience.
‘I really feel for these people. It’s really hard,’ Ethan stated, per Variety. ‘Sometimes I’ll be setting a movie up and someone will say, “Oh, you should cast Suzie.” I’m like, “Who is she?” “She has ten million followers.”‘
He added: ‘So if I don’t have this public-facing [platform], I don’t have a career? And if I get more followers I might get that part? What?’
