Dominic Sessa, whose breakout role in “The Holdovers” garnered much attention at last year’s awards season, is slated to star as the late chef Anthony Bourdain in the upcoming eponymous biopic, “Tony.”
A24 is currently in negotiations to acquire the film from production company Star Thrower Entertainment, several unnamed sources told Deadline. Star Thrower previously produced the biographical sports drama “King Richard,” which centers on the father and coach of famed tennis players Venus and Serena Williams. The film earned a Best Picture Oscar nomination and secured a Lead Actor win for star Will Smith.
