Uma Thurman Joins Adam Jones

With the film starting shooting this week, Bradley Cooper’s new project, once named Chef, has secured a new title, Adam Jones, and some additional cast members. Uma Thurman, Jamie Dornan, Sam Keeley, Sarah Greene, Emma Thompson and Daniel Brühl are all now set to enter the kitchen{ =nofollow}.

Thanks to Jon Favreau’s recent indie success story, Cooper’s movie is now named after his character, the lead in the piece. John Wells is cranking the cameras now, kicking off in New Orleans before heading to London for a couple of months.

Adam Jones finds Cooper as a famous chef whose wild style and daring way around menus has led to him becoming a rock star in the kitchen. But his crazy, partying personality starts to undermine him, especially when he has a shot at his own restaurant and an elusive third Michelin star.

Thurman’s role hasn’t been specifically revealed, but we do know she’s playing Helene in the film. Sienna Miller is already aboard for the movie, which has a script from Lock****e’s Steven Knight. It should hit our screens next year.
