Antonio Banderas has landed his next role…
The 64-year-old Spanish Oscar-nominated actor will co-star opposite Dominic Sessa in Tony, the Anthony Bourdain film from A24, Star Thrower and Zapruder Films.
Matt Johnson is directing from a script by Todd Bartels and Lou Howe.
The logline is being kept under wraps, but sources say the film takes place during the summer of 1976, when a young Bourdain has a life-changing summer in Provincetown.
It’s unknown who Banderas will play.
A24 will produce with Tim and Trevor White under their Star Thrower banner, along with Johnson and Matthew Miller through their Zapruder Films. Chris Stinson, Amy Greene, Howe, Bartels and Emily Rose will executive produce. Kimberly Witherspoon, who represents Bourdain’s estate, will also executive produce.
Banderas and A24 have strong ties after the Oscar-nominated actor recently starred opposite Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson in Babygirl. He was also recently seen in Paddington in Peru.
