A24 A24 has released the first trailer for the upcoming Anthony Bourdain biopic “Tony,” starring “The Holdovers” breakout Dominic Sessa in the starring role. The film is set in 1976, when a young Bourdain has a life-changing experience working and living in Provincetown, Mass. Bourdain, the late chef-turned-TV host for CNN, enrolled in culinary school two years after the film is set. He made his name with the 2000 memoir “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly,” which detailed his experience as the executive chef of Brasserie Les Halles in New York. Bourdain died by suicide in 2018 in Strasbourg, France, at age 61. He won six Emmy Awards for his contributions to the unscripted space for series like “No Reservations” and “Parts Unknown.” Sessa stars as Bourdain alongside Antonio Banderas, who plays a Brazilian-born restaurateur who takes the young Tony under his wing. Sessa first rose to fame as the breakout star of “The Holdovers,” the 2023 comedy-drama about a strict boarding school teacher forced to chaperone a group of students who have nowhere to go during Christmas holiday break. Banderas recently starred in “Babygirl,” “The Clean Up Crew” and “Paddington in Peru.”
