Anthony Bourdain biopic

A biopic titled 'Tony' about the late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain is in development, with Dominic Sessa, known for his breakout role in 'The Holdovers,' in talks to star. Directed by Matt Johnson, the film will be produced by A24 and Star Thrower Entertainment, with Trevor and Tim White among the producers. The screenplay is written by Todd Bartels and Lou Howe, but details on what aspects of Bourdain's life will be covered remain unclear. Bourdain, who gained fame through his candid memoir 'Kitchen Confidential' and the TV series 'No Reservations,' died by suicide in 2018 while filming 'Parts Unknown.' Sessa's recent acclaim positions him well for this challenging role, and he is also set to appear in 'Now You See Me 3' next year. As the project progresses, it has already sparked significant interest in the filmmaking community.
