We hope no one was holding their breath for Before Sunrise trilogy director Richard Linklater's film Boyhood (sometimes called The Twelve Year Project), because it's taken about 12 years for that project to actually near completion. Good news if you have been, though: In a new interview with The Huffington Post, Before Sunrise trilogy star Ethan Hawke has revealed that Boyhood should hit theaters sometime in 2014, and, on top of that, he swears it's going to be "revolutionary."

First things first: A little about the film. Just by reading the following description, it's apparent that this film is going to be something special—but whether it's a good special or a bad special remains to be seen. Basically, it stars Hawke and Patricia Arquette as a divorced couple trying to raise their son (played by Ellar Salmon), but it's unique in the sense that it's going to follow the young boy's development between ages 6 and 18, without changing any actors.

How? In short: Hawke, Arquette, and Salmon have gotten together every day with a small cast and crew for the past twelve years to shoot the film, which will be broken up into episodes. 'Revolutionary' might be an understatement.

Hawke talked a little about his experience shooting such a major film like this, and when we can expect to see it in theaters, finally:

None

As for what to expect:

None

We really don't doubt that, either. This is going to be one to watch, guys.
