Vince Vaughn, Susan Sarandon, Linda Cardellini, Joe Manganiello and More Star in New Film Comedy Film NONNAS
Production has wrapped on the upcoming comedy film Nonnas from director Stephen Chbosky (Wonder, The Perks of Being a Wallflower) and writer Liz Maccie (Siren, A Loud House Christmas).
The film stars Vince Vaughn (Swingers, Dodgeball), Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise), Lorraine Bracco (Goodfellas), Talia Shire (Megalopolis), Brenda Vaccaro (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Linda Cardellini (Dead to Me), Drea De Matteo (The Sopranos), Joe Manganiello (The Kill Room), Michael Rispoli (Power Book III: Raising Kanan) and Campbell Scott (Jurassic World Dominion).
Nonnas is based on the true story of “Brooklyn native Joe Scaravella (Vaughn), who, after losing his beloved mother, realizes he’s wasted time as a single man at a dead-end job and yearns for a second chance at life. Motivated by his Italian mother’s love of cooking, but with no culinary experience and dwindling funds, he opens a restaurant unlike any other by hiring the most unlikely team of chefs — one consisting of grandmothers.”
“Italian nonnas make their Sunday dinners every day of the week (except Christmas and Easter) for anyone who needs to feel at home. Joe finds a new purpose, community and love interest (Cardellini) in the process, and, along with the nonnas, discovers it’s never too late to start again.”
This sounds like a really fun little movie. I look forward to checking it out. We will let you know as soon as the film has set its release date.
