Holdovers star Dominic Sessa is in talks to play chef Anthony Bourdain in the biopic Tony.
Dominic Sessa reportedly to play Anthony Bourdain in biopic
Celebrity chef and travel documentary maker Anthony Bourdain is probably best known for hosting No Reservations and Parts Unknown before taking his own life in 2018. There is no concrete information on what parts of Bourdain's life the biopic will cover.
This is the second time we’ve seen a film about Bourdain’s life. The 2021 documentary Roadrunner was a critical success. However, the documentary sparked controversy when the director revealed he used AI to create several quotes using Bourdain’s voice.
Star Thrower Entertainment (Trevor and Tim White) and A24 will produce the biopic. Dirties and Blackberry filmmaker/actor/writer Matt Johnson is reportedly in talks to direct. Lou Howe and Todd Bartels wrote the script. A24, Trevor White, Tim White, Matt Johnson and Matthew Miller will produce. Emily Rose will executive produce.
