'Before Midnight': Ethan Hawke, Richard Linklater Tease a Fourth Movie

Reuniting at the Tribeca Film Festival, the actor and director along with Julie Delpy discuss the continuing saga of Jesse and Celine.

Fans of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, Richard Linklater's films co-starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as star-crossed lovers, will certainly be riveted by the director's latest installment, Before Midnight, which delivers the same talky romance as the first two movies but with a giant -- and brutal -- helping of marital discord.
 Although the trouble-in-paradise plotline exposes cracks within the facade of a seemingly perfect union of two soulmates, Jesse and Celine, Delpy -- who co-wrote the film along with Hawke and Linklater -- says she's not worried about alienating Before devotees.

"This one is romantic too but in a different sort of way," said the actress on Wednesday, joining Hawke and Linklater at a panel ahead of a Before Midnight screening at the Tribeca Film Festival.
