Wildcat is an upcoming biographical film of American novelist Flannery O'Connor, and will star Maya Hawke as O'Connor. And what's really cool is that her father Ethan will be directing the picture!
What may not be so cool is that the film features scenes of a certain…adult nature.
To put it bluntly, there are sex scenes in this movie, and since Ethan Hawke is the director and Maya Hawke is the main actor…you can see where things could've gotten awkward.
However, in a recent interview Ethan said he "couldn't care less" about directing his daughter's sex scenes. "We were so comfortable with it. I couldn't care less," he told Variety.
Maya had similar sentiments, revealing, "Before we started…everyone was asking me, 'Are you nervous to work with your dad?' I hadn't thought to be."
Ethan also heard those musings, saying, "I started thinking, 'What am I not seeing? What am I missing?'" he shared. "But this is our safe place."
"Making art together," Maya added.
Wildcat premiered at the 50th Telluride Film Festival on September 1, and is also scheduled to be shown at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival on September 11.
