So is Keanu Reeves really going to make a cooking movie where he’ll play a chef with David Fincher? Seems pretty improbable, huh? Well, that’s the word according to Production Weekly via /film.
Production Weekly reports that the ‘Benjamin Button’ director has signed for the Sony-backed project, but no details about the film are currently known.
If it does happen to actually get made, Let’s just hope it’s about it’s a) not about a “rock n’ roll” chef who’s all bad ass, taking drugs and cooking masterpieces in his spare time (*groan*) and b) not anything like that godawful Aaron Eckhart/ Catherine Zeta Jones cooking disaster, “No Reservations.”
The movie was bad enough on its own, but it was even worse for the fact that all the chefs were wearing crocks the whole time and were essentially fashion-challenged. Whoever did wardrobe for that thing might want to consider a new career.
Either way, cooking films that appeal to the anti-hero foodie in you just seem like a terrible idea.
