StrangerThings star Maya Hawke is set to lead her father Ethan Hawke’s next directorial project—a historical drama titled Wildcat.
Ethan Hawke has begun rolling the camera on Wildcat, his next directorial effort that will introduce a new generation of cinephiles to the short life and legacy of Southern writer, Flannery O’Connor beginning from her days as a struggling up-and-coming novelist. Hawke's daughter, Maya Hawke will portray O'Connor which marks the first time Hawke is directing the Stranger Things star in a production.
“Maya has been working hard for years to put this project together, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to introduce a new generation of filmgoers to the genius of Flannery O’Connor,” Hawke said. “Her work explores themes important to all artists — the intersection of creativity and faith, the blurred relationship between imagination and reality.”
Though Wildcat will be the first time Hawke will be directing his daughter on-set, the father-daughter duo first worked together as actors on the Showtime limited series, The Good Lord Bird . Since making her screen debut on BBC's Little Women in 2017, Hawke has successfully emerged from her father's shadow and is regarded as a star in her own right.
