Bradley Cooper Officially Books Chef
15 May 2013 12:10 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Not every story about Bradley Cooper signing on to a film pans out: while he didn’t end up picking up a weapon for Jane Got A Gun, it appears he is definitely down for a stint in the kitchen for Chef.Cooper was first linked to the movie back in January, when his Place Beyond The Pines director Derek Cianfrance was considering taking the directing job, working with a script by Eastern Promises’ Steve Knight.Now John Wells, fresh from marshalling a top ensemble for August: Osage County, is on to direct the story of Adam Jones (Cooper) a chef at a swanky Paris restaurant who loses his job after a run of out-of-control behaviour. He decides to get clean and returns to the city aiming to run a restaurant that can once more sport three Michelin stars. He might consider getting a rat to help…With Michelle Williams »

London — In the run-up to Cannes, Lionsgate UK has picked up six British pics, including Peter Capaldi’s comedy “Born to be King,” which toplines Kate Hudson and Ewan McGregor.
“King” is about a film extra who bears a striking resemblance to a movie star.

Another pickup is Daniel Radcliffe-starrer “Horns,” which was adapted by Keith Bunin from Joe Hill’s novel. Alexandre Aja (“Piranha 3D”) helms. Radcliffe plays a young man who awakens to strange horns sprouting from his temples following his girlfriend’s mysterious death.

Statham’s ‘Hummingbird’ Becomes ‘Redemption’ In New Poster & Trailer
8 May 2013 12:13 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Jason Statham’s latest Hummingbird, directed by Steven Knight, has taken on a much more generic title in the form of Redemption. To accompany its name change we also have a brand new trailer and poster (which just changes the title) to show you. The film sees Statham as a homeless veteran taking on a new identity and trying to rebuild his life, but with some excellent fighting skills, the unsavoury characters of London are out to get him. The title change isn’t exactly that important, but it is a shame in that this film certainly seems slightly different to Statham’s usual action output. Perhaps it’s the gritty London locales, the emotional conflict running through Statham, or because this is Knight’s directorial debut after writing the wonderful Dirty Pretty Things and Eastern Promises. Time will tell if this will give us something new, or if it »

Redemption a.k.a. Hummingbird given a new trailer & poster
7 May 2013 10:20 PM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Personally, I think Hummingbird had a nice ring to it as opposed to the new domestic title of Redemption for the Jason Statham action thriller. It was intriguing, and could have cemented the film into intrigued fans' minds better than Redemption, which comes off sounding like a film focusing on the priesthood. Moving on... The Steven Knight-written-and-directed film opens June 28th via Roadside Attractions, and also includes Ian Pirie, Vicky McClure, Siobhan Hewlett, Benedict Wong, Senem Temiz and Lee Asquith-Coe.

Jason Statham’s Hummingbird Gets a New Trailer, Poster, Title and VOD Release Date
7 May 2013 8:44 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
It figures that the Powers That Be would end up giving Jason Statham’s latest movie, the Steven Knight actioner “Hummingbird” a very Jason Statham-esque name like “Redemption”. (Personally, I thought the film’s other International title, “Crazy Joe”, was kinda cool.) Along with a new title, Roadside Attractions has released a new poster (above), a new (or at least, new-ish) trailer (below), and a release date that will put the film on VOD and theaters at the same time. Sure, it looks a lot like your average Jason Statham movie, but if you’re a fan of that, then this should really go over well. If not? Oh well, you can always wait for “The Expendables 3″, I guess.

2 May 2013 10:07 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It was ridiculously exciting to hear the recent news about Jon Favreau going indie again with his film Chef, which he.d be starring in. But that was so last week.

The Weinstein Company is reteaming with its director John Wells for a character drama titled Chef. And take this with a grain of salt, given recent events, but Deadline reports Bradley Cooper is set to be the titular chef. Chances are he.ll have to postpone his Broadway revival of The Elephant Man . Working rom a seemingly clichéd script written by Steven Knight, Cooper will be playing Adam Jones, a Paris chef on the rise who temporarily throws his life into chaos with »

John Wells Deal To Direct Bradley Cooper In ‘Chef’
2 May 2013 2:48 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: After helming August: Osage County for Harvey Weinstein, John Wells is getting ready to take on another big film for The Weinstein Company. He’s making a deal to direct Chef, the Steven Knight-scripted drama that Bradley Cooper will star in next year. 3 Arts’ Erwin Stoff is producing with Double Feature Films partners Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher. Timing on this picture got skewered with Steven Spielberg’s commitment last night to direct Cooper in American Sniper. Still open for debate is whether Cooper will have time to bring a revival of The Elephant Man to Broadway. The plan was for it to open in time for Tony Awards consideration for next year, but Cooper’s schedule suddenly got very crowded and it might have to be pushed until next fall. In Chef, Cooper will play Paris chef Adam Jones, who blows his status as an up and »

Statham Sparks As ‘Crazy Joe’ In French ‘Hummingbird’ Poster
29 April 2013 2:04 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
We’re expected a more emotionally dramatic turn from Jason Statham with Eastern Promises scribe Steven Knight’s directorial debut Hummingbird. Although from the look if this French poster (blazing the alternative title of Crazy Joe), you wouldn’t think it was any different to his usual action output.
Hummingbird follows an ex-Special Forces soldier, Joey Jones, who has recently returned from Afghanistan but finds himself with a desperate position, along with his pregnant girlfriend, of being homeless and living amongst the garbage-filled back alley’s of London. However, after a run in with an urban gang he luckily finds work as an enforcer for the criminal underworld but reinvents himself as a nothing-to-lose vigilante when his lover’s body, carrying his unborn child, is found dumped.
Hummingbird is released in the UK on the 28th June and co-stars Vicky McClure, Benedict Wong, Siobhan Hewlett, Christian Brassington and Ian Pirie. »

Check out the fifth poster, a French version for Lionsgate's Hummingbird ("Crazy Joe"), starring Jason Statham in the Steven Knight thriller. Well. at least this one's more interesting, and colorful and the other somewhat boring posters we've added for the film. Also with Ian Pirie, Vicky McClure, Siobhan Hewlett, Benedict Wong, Senem Temiz and Lee Asquith-Coe., Hummingbird stars Statham as a damaged ex-Special Forces soldier on the run from a military court martial who navigates London's criminal underworld, and seizes an opportunity to assume another man's identity -- transforming into an avenging angel in the process. »

Living on the streets after going on the run from a military court-martial, Joey (Statham) is a damaged ex-special forces soldier trapped in London’s criminal underworld. But when opportunity enables him to assume another man’s identity, he is transformed into an avenging angel.
Statham is joined by Vicky McClure (This Is England, Broadchurch), Agata Buzek (The Reverse), Siobhan Hewlett (Irina Palm), and Benedict Wong »

Updated Official Trailer For Statham’s Thriller ‘Hummingbird’
24 April 2013 3:02 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Previously, we bought you the first stylish poster for Jason Statham vigilante thriller, Hummingbird, with the Brit star teaming up with Eastern Promises scribe Steven Knight, who’s making his directorial debut. The emotionally brutal film will be unlike most efforts starring the action hero, with a dark story centring on an ex-Special Forces soldier returning from Afghanistan, who comes home to discover he’s homeless and his pregnant girlfriend is soon murdered. Unhinged on the streets of London, he makes it his mission to wash away the scum of the city. We’re thinking Taxi Driver meets Death Wish.
Hummingbird is now released in the UK on the 28th June and co-stars Vicky McClure, Benedict Wong, Siobhan Hewlett, Christian Brassington and Ian Pirie. Check out the official trailer below:
