“I’m not afraid to sit with something and just wait until the time is right,” the writer-director says of the yearslong process of making Hit Man and two of his upcoming projects.
It was way back in 2001 that Richard Linklater read a Texas Monthly article about a supposed contract killer in Houston who was actually working with law enforcement. He was fascinated by the story, but he couldn’t crack the script for years—until he teamed up with Glen Powell and created a third act about an undercover hit man who falls for one of his clients.
And I just never had those problems ever again. And it doesn’t show in the final film, which is an accomplishment in itself. It’s not a compromise movie, but I had to work so hard for that. Even the actors that worked on it weren’t hardly aware of the shit I was going through. And I take blame for that shit. It’s just something you have to go through. You filmed Blue Moon this summer. What’s going on with this movie? Since Hit Man, I’ve shot two films.
