Cianfrance Cooks Up "Chef" With Cooper

Bradley Cooper is in talks to reunite with his "The Place Beyond The Pines" director Derek Cianfrance on the long-gestating "Chef" says Vulture and The Playlist.

Steven Knight penned the script about a disgraced chef whose addiction problems lead him to lose his Michelin two star rated restaurant in Paris. He then brings his team back together in London to rebuild and chase an elusive three star rating.

David Fincher and Keanu Reeves were attached the project several years ago but it didn't coalesce at the time.
