Bradley Cooper gets cooking lessons from Gordon Ramsay for 'Chef' role
13 hours ago | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Bradley Cooper is Gordon Ramsay's next kitchen nightmare. The "Hells Kitchen" star and master chef has been drafted to teach the A-list actor how to look like a top chef for his latest film role.
Cooper is set to star in "Chef," a drama directed by John Wells for Sony Pictures about a drug-addicted chef with Michelin-starred restaurant dreams. A source close to the project tells The Sun newspaper, "Gordon's going to be giving Bradley a crash-course in cookery and teaching him some flash tricks like knife-work so Bradley looks like an experienced chef."
Though "Chef" won't start production until 2014, the film has already been making headlines. Sony sent a cease-and-desist letter over a comedy project of the same name, which Jon Favreau plans to produce, direct and star in. Also attached to Favreau's "Chef" are Robert Downey, Jr., Sofia Vergara and John Leguizamo. »

Scarlett Johansson Joins Jon Favreau's 'Chef' As Michelle Williams & Marion Cotillard Circle Rival Bradley Cooper Pic
15 May 2013 8:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The culinary arts and filmmaking don't seem to go together that often. You get the occasional great picture set in the restaurant world -- "Big Night" and "Ratatouille" spring to mind -- but more often than not, you end up with films more like "No Reservations" when you try to put cooks on screen. But now, chefs are suddenly the new, uh, Snow White, with two big names gearing up rival foodie-related pictures, to the extent that legal issues may be brewing over their titles. Jon Favreau is prepping to star and direct in a return to his indie roots with "Chef," a film about a professional cook who loses his job and sets up a food truck, and he's been quietly assembling a nice cast, with Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale and, most impressively of all, a cameo from megastar Robert Downey Jr. And now he's recruited another Avenger, »

Scarlett Johansson Joins Robert Downey Jr. in Jon Favreau’s Chef; John Wells’ Chef Fights for the Title
15 May 2013 8:14 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Iron Man 2 gang is getting back together for what will hopefully be a better movie than Iron Man 2. Variety is reporting that Scarlett Johansson will reunite with Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau for Favreau's indie film, Chef. The story centers on a man (Favreau) who loses his chef job and starts up a food truck to reclaim his artistic promise and reclaiming his estranged family. As we previously reported, the film will have a strong supporting cast with Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, and Bobby Cannavale on board to co-star. I'm happy to see Favreau returning to his indie roots (although in this case "indie" simply means it doesn't have the gigantic budgets of his recent films), and heading back into a leading role. He's so money and he knows it. But the movie is in for a fight over the title as Sony Pictures, which owns »

'Iron Man 2' Déjà Vu: Scarlett Johansson Joins Rdj in 'Chef'
15 May 2013 8:09 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Can you say "'Iron Man 2" reunion"?
As much as we'd like to forget that particular sequel confection, all the essential ingredients of it were solid (except perhaps the gamey taste of Mickey Rourke), so it makes our mouth water to learn via The Hollywood Reporter that the delectable Scarlett Johansson will be assembling with Avenger Robert Downey Jr. for star/director Jon Favreau's "Chef."
The indie comedy, which is currently being sold at Cannes based on the aroma of its cast, will also feature Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo and Bobby Cannavale. The plot revolves around Favreau's chef Carl Casper who loses his restaurant gig and cooks up a food truck business in order to simultaneously reawaken the artist within and reconcile with his family.
Sounds like a lot on the menu, but for dessert you have Molly (Johansson), a "restaurant manager and love interest of Favreau’s character. »

Casting Couch: Robert Downey Jr. Re-Teaming With Jon Favreau, Timothy Olyphant Re-Teaming With a Cowboy Hat, and More
13 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What is Casting Couch? It’s your place to catch up with all of the casting news that broke over the weekend. Just a couple days away from the Internet and you missed news involving Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, and Samuel L. Jackson. Catch up! One of the biggest reasons Robert Downey Jr. is experiencing a huge career resurgence right now is that Jon Favreau fought to cast him as the lead in the first Iron Man movie. After Downey killed it in that movie and he and Favreau made about a gabillion dollars together on it and the sequel, one would imagine a lifetime friendship was forged. That’s why, even though Favreau’s next film is a little indie dramedy he’s starring in himself called Chef, he’s still able to call in a big favor and have a huge star like Downey join the ensemble cast.
