Production

Development

On August 4, 2014, Linklater ceased involvement with the Warner Bros. film The Incredible Mr. Limpet, stating that he wanted to concentrate on the university-set, 1980s baseball film under the working title of That's What I'm Talking About. The project is considered a spiritual sequel to Linklater's 1993 film, Dazed and Confused, which is set in a high school in the 1970s.[4] Linklater also considers the film a sequel to Boyhood because "it begins right where Boyhood ends with a guy showing up at college and meeting his new roommates and a girl."[5]

On September 12, 2014, Linklater offered Jenner, Hoechlin and Russell the lead roles of baseball players.[6] On September 16, Guzman was added to the lead cast to also play a baseball player.[7]

On September 29, 2014, Annapurna Pictures became involved as a financial producer of the film, while Paramount Pictures signed on to handle distribution rights.[8] More cast members were later announced, including Deutch, Brittain, and Powell.[9]

In a March 2016 interview, Linklater revealed he had written the first draft of the film in mid-2005, and tried to finance the film in 2009, but didn't get off the ground until Annapurna Pictures got involved.[10]

Filming

Principal photography began on October 13, 2014 in Austin, Texas.[11][12] On October 15, filming was taking place in Weimar, Texas, and lasted until December 2, 2014. Shooting locations included San Marcos, Texas, Bastrop, Texas, Elgin, Texas and San Antonio, Texas.[12][13] A night shoot involving extras occurred on October 31, 2014, for a costume party scene in Taylor, Texas.[14]

Release

On July 27, 2015, Paramount Pictures set the film for an April 15, 2016 release in the United States.[15] In February 2016, the film was moved up to April 1, in a limited release.[16] It was then moved to March 30.[17]

Reception

Box office

The film received a limited release across 18 locations in New York and Los Angeles on March 30. Deadline.com said "should the film make $20K per theater that would be great. If it makes north of a $35K average, that would be fantastic."[18]

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 97%, based on 29 reviews, with an average rating of 8.3/10.[19] Metacritic gives the film a score of 84 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[20]
