THE HOTTEST STATE, coming to a screen/ipod near you

Add another notch to Ethan Hawke’s belt. The actor, writer, and now second time director is bringing his 1997 debut novel, The Hottest State, to a screen near you. Hawke wrote, directed, and stars in the semi-autobiographical film, which is expected to hit theaters on August 24th. While the jury is still out on whether the film is good, (so far it’s made the rounds at the Venice Film Festival and at Cannes) the accompanying soundtrack is sure to be. Featuring songs from artists including Willie Nelson, Norah Jones, Cat Power, and Feist, the soundtrack will be coming out on August 7th.
