Although Burnt was filmed in between two big jobs, last year’s (14) American Sniper and his stint in play The Elephant Man, Bradley already had basic knowledge. But that was before he was nominated for multiple Academy Awards and voiced a hot-headed gun-toting raccoon.

During his downtime Bradley enjoys practising his skills in the kitchen, but for his role as chef Adam Jones in upcoming movie Burnt he realised there was a lot to learn.
Now, though, he’s looking to rebuild and has his eye on opening his own restaurant in London, with hopes he can score those all important Michelin Guide stars.
I’ve been fascinated with food, so a film like this has gotten my attention.
Directed by John Wells, Burnt also stars Sienna Miller, Omar Sy, Daniel Brühl, Matthew Rhys, Uma Thurman and Emma Thompson. That’s how I lost my food handler’s certification.
Cooper’s character was inspired by Bourdain himself and set about revealing the dark, sinister happenings of a busy New York kitchen. Burnt looks as if it is more intense and emotional, with a slight bit of humor to lighten the heaviness. “I found a cook who doesn’t know how good she is”, Cooper’s Jones says of Helene. But we also see him crack-wise and be a bit playful.

It doesn’t spell the greatest confidence in “Burnt” that The Weinstein Company are still reportedly test screening the movie, but they are committed to the release date it seems, as the Bradley Cooper starring food world drama now has a new trailer with a few weeks to go before it hits cinemas.
