Video · AFM: Ethan Hawke To Play Chet Baker In 'Born To Be Blue'

Ethan Hawke has signed on to play Chet Baker in a new biopic about the legendary jazz trumpeter. Born to Be Blue picks up with the Baker story late in the musician’s life, when, after years of drug abuse, he stages a comeback. Robert Budreau ( That Beautiful Somewhere ) is directing Born to Be Blue from his own screenplay. Hawke has worked closely on the development of the project, which will largely shoot in Sudbury, Ontario.
