Helen Mirren teams up with Oprah Winfrey for the winsome drama The Hundred-Foot Journey.
Mirren stars as a snooty chef who runs an accomplished French restaurant, and is perturbed when an immigrant Indian family opens their own eatery just across the street. Winfrey produces, alongside Steven Spielberg, and the trailer above should give you a sense of what attracted both to the project.
Based on the best-selling novel by Richard C. Morais, The Hundred-Foot Journey begins with the culture clash of this uptight French chef and her raucous new neighbors. She favors traditional French cuisine, and boasts a Michelin star. They prefer the bold spices of their homeland, and are bringing tastes this small French village has never before tasted. Their differences spark a culinary war, battling for diners and the love of the locals. But they begin to become friends when Madame Mallory (Mirren) sees the potential of Hassan Haji (Manish Dayal), the star chef of his family's restaurant. Soon, he begins to learn to cook new dishes from Madame Mallory, but his tastes aren't the only ones that are changing.
The Hundred-Foot Journey opens August 8th.
