First Trailer for Matt Johnson’s ‘Tony’ About Young Anthony Bourdain​

“Anybody asks – I’m not a writer. I work in a kitchen.” A24 has revealed the first official trailer for Tony, directed by the brilliant Canadian filmmaker Matt Johnson (following Operation Avalanche, BlackBerry, and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie). This film is about the real life chef / author / TV personality Anthony Bourdain, best known as the enigmatic host of travelogue program “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” on CNN. Dominic Sessa (from The Holdovers) star as the young Tony. The film mostly takes places in 1976, when a young Bourdain had a life-changing experience working and living in Provincetown, MA – which became the basis of his book “Kitchen Confidential“. It follows Bourdain, the angsty aspiring writer, as he pursues a girl who eventually draws him into the culinary world. Starring Sessa and Emilia Jones as Nancy, along with Dagmara Domińczyk, Rich Sommer, Stavros Halkias, Leo Woodall, and featuring Antonio Banderas. I’ve gotta say – I think this looks really, really good! Johnson continues to improve as a filmmaker, and this looks like a fun & fascinating coming-of-age tale of a young food lover. // Continue Reading ›
