Not everyone is lucky enough to do what they want in life. Chef Adam Jones had everything he wanted, but he couldn't keep a fragile dream in his hands. Having become arrogant and capricious, unbearable with subordinates, he loses everything and sinks to the very bottom, mired in drugs and alcohol. Time passes and Adam finds a way to get back on track. Now his main goal is his own restaurant and the real Grail in gastronomy - the third Michelin star. But everything is far from that simple. The ghosts of the past do not let Jones go, and his new path may be much more dangerous and difficult than he thought. Read more The film "Chef Adam Jones" could have been shot as early as 2008. At that time, David Fincher, who directed the cult films "Seven", "Fight Club", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and others, claimed the director's chair. He wanted to see Keanu Reeves in the lead role. Two years ago, Fincher was replaced by Derek Sienfrens, whose filmography includes two famous films with Ryan Gosling - "Valentine's Day" and "A Place Under the Pines". But the director refused the project, and finally John Wells was finally approved. He has not so many films on his account as a director: several serials and two dramas - "In the company of men" and "August". Wells is also engaged in screenplays ("Ambulance", "Southland", "Shameless") and production ("Photo in an hour" with Robin Williams, "White Oleander", "I'm not there", etc.). Before Sienna Miller got the part, Michelle Williams and Marion Cotillard were considered. It is interesting that Bradley Cooper, who played the main role, wanted to become either an actor or a chef as a child. A year ago, Clint Eastwood's film "Sniper" was released, in which Miller and Cooper played a married couple. Marcus Wareing became a consultant in the film "Chef Adam Jones". He is a chef and host of the BBC show "Master Chef". Wareing made sure that the cooking looked realistic, so the actors and actresses had to learn how to cook like professionals.
