Dominic Sessa To Play The Late Anthony Bourdain In Upcoming Biopic ‘Tony’

Buy Me A Coffee

Hollywood is cooking up a new biopic about the late, great Anthony Bourdain! Yes, you heard that right. On Monday, August 12, it was announced that Star Thrower Entertainment is stirring the pot with a new film titled “Tony.” And guess what? They’re eyeing the fresh-faced Dominic Sessa, who’s currently hot off the press from playing a teenager in a movie, to spice up the screen as our favorite globe-trotting chef and TV host.

Now, Variety has the scoop that A24 is in cahoots with Matt Johnson, the genius behind “Blackberry” (not the fruit, but the phone), to potentially direct this epic culinary adventure. The screenplay is being whipped up by Lou Howe and Todd Bartels, so expect it to be as unpredictable as a Bourdain meal in a foreign street market.

What period of Bourdain’s life will the film cover? That’s anyone’s guess! From his wild culinary escapades to his musings on global gastronomy, they could tackle anything from his teenage years to his epic global feasts. And yes, we’re all eagerly awaiting to see if they’ll include a scene where he tries to make a gourmet meal out of a can of SpaghettiOs.

So, if anyone can handle the spice of portraying Bourdain, it’s this guy.

So, get ready for a cinematic feast that might just make you laugh, cry, and crave a bowl of pho. Bon appétit!
