Final ‘Burnt’ Trailer Plays Up Its Cast, Throws In A ‘Star Wars’ Reference
You’ve gotta hand it toBradley Cooper. In five short years, he’s gone from being “that douchey guy fromThe Hangover” to a bona fide A-list movie star and perennial Oscar nominee. He hit a bit of a rough patch this summer with theAlohafiasco, but he’s hoping to bounce back this fall with theJohn Wells-directed dramedyBurnt.
The film opens in just a few days, but The Weinstein Co. has slipped in just under the wire with one last trailer. Watch it after the jump.
The Weinstein Co. dropped theBurntfinal trailer online.
The beginning of theBurnttrailer plays like whoever cut it together still thoughtthis movie was calledAdam Jones. The rest of it plays like The Weinstein Co. realized this movie’s biggest selling point is its highly accomplished cast, giving each star (includingOmar Sy,Lily James,Uma Thurman,Daniel Brühl,Emma Thompson,Alicia Vikander,Sienna Miller, and of course Cooper) a chance to shine. There’s also aStar Warsreference thrown in for good measure.
Spotlighting that cast is probably a smart move, because otherwise, thatBurnttrailer looks almost as generic as its title. It doesn’t particularly help that it looks a lot like thatother"disgraced chef tries to make good" movie, Jon Favreau’s 2014 dramedyChef. Still, you could probably do worse than spend two hours being wooed by an intensely charismatic cast and ogling food-porn shots.Burntarrives in theatersOctober 30.
Chef Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper) had it all – and lost it. A two-star Michelin rockstar with the bad habits to match, the former enfant terrible of the Paris restaurant scene did everything different every time out, and only ever cared about the thrill of creating explosions of taste. To land his own kitchen and that third elusive Michelin star though, he’ll need the best of the best on his side, including the beautiful Helene (Sienna Miller). BURNT is a remarkably funny and emotional story about the love of food, the love between two people, and the power of second chances.
