Javier Bardem Might Play Ferran in New Food Film

Producer Philippe Rousselet wants Javier Bardem to play Ferran Adrià in the long-awaited elBulli film. Rousselet told the Hollywood Reporter that the actor is his "obvious first choice." 

The film is based on the book The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which chronicles life behind the scenes in the avant-garde elBulli kitchen. 

Adrià is involved with the production as "an on-set advisor." He has described the film as The Social Network meets Ratatouille. 

Rousselet is now calling it "The Breakfast Club meets Dead Poets Society meets The Social Network", i.e., less rats, more angst and lots of self-discovery for hard working young chefs. 

Should be good - very good! What would your casting choices be?

Sometimes in this world of stress, we can all use a little humor - even if it starts at the cutting board. Just remember, as always, the 'right' ingredients make the dish.

Entitled "Fresh Guacamole", this stop-motion film took over four months to create making it is the shortest movie ever submitted to the Academy in the Best Animated Short Film category.

Sadly it didn’t win this year, but it has amassed an amazing 3.5 million hits since being uploaded on the Internet. One can be sure its creator, who goes by the professional name "PES", is smiling and answering his phone with an enthusiastic "Ole!"
