Bradley Cooper looks for fireworks and immortality in ‘BURNT’ trailer
After multiple test screenings and name changes (first it was Chef, then Adam Jones) The Weinstein Company is ready to release Burnt, the chef drama starring three-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, American Sniper). Cooper plays rockstar chef Adam Jones who has a meteoric rise and an equally precipitous falling star drop after being consumed by drugs and bad boy behavior. Now he wants redemption as he returns to London to open “the best restaurant in the world.”
Here’s the trailer:
The film is directed by John Wells (August: Osage County) and also stars Emma Thompson, Sienna Miller, Daniel Brühl, Lily James, Omar Sy, Uma Thurman and girl of the moment, Alicia Vikander. It opens October 23rd.
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
