Richard Linklater's latest film, Hit Man , premiered at the 2023 Venice and Toronto film festivals.

It was bought by Netflix for $20 million , the largest deal at TIFF that year .

Linklater: "I knew hit men weren’t real in what people think they are".

Blue Moon was something you’d been sitting with for a while as well as Merrily We Roll Along.

Both of these are 10-year gestations.

I'm not afraid to sit with something and just wait until the time is right.

Do you know any up-and-coming filmmakers you're really excited about?.

After his early films, you’d have a meeting: “Hey, what are you doing next? What stories do you want to tell?” They don’t want to ask anyone that anymore, he says.

"I look back and realize I was just fucking lucky by birth that someone would give me a couple million dollars to go make Before Sunrise".
