  • Get ready for an August release!

We just saw something amazing hit the internet! A24 has unveiled the very first trailer for ‘Tony’, their new movie all about the legendary chef, Anthony Bourdain.

And wow, it looks like a whole new vibe! Remember Dominic Sessa from ‘The Holdovers’? He’s stepping into some really big shoes, playing a 19-year-old Bourdain on his journey.

The trailer gives us a peek into Bourdain’s super early days. We see him in Provincetown, Massachusetts, just starting out in the kitchen.

A24 movies always have a special feel, don’t they? This one looks raw, honest, and the visual style definitely hints at that gritty, real-world kitchen aesthetic Bourdain was known for. Expect lots of steam, sharp knives, and maybe some smoky blues.

Matt Johnson, who also directed the fantastic ‘Blackberry’, is behind the camera for this one. He’s great at bringing real stories to life in a way that truly pulls you in.

Mark your calendars, because ‘Tony’ is set to hit theaters this August. We’re already counting down the days to see this culinary icon’s origin story unfold on the big screen.

Our Take

Honestly, we’re really, really excited about this. Dominic Sessa taking on a young Bourdain feels like pitch-perfect casting. He has that thoughtful, intense look.

Bourdain’s story isn’t just about food; it’s about life, adventure, and finding your voice in the world. We think this movie is going to capture that perfectly.

Plus, it’s A24. They just *get* it when it comes to unique stories and visual flair. We have a really good feeling this will be a must-watch film of the summer.
