Jon Favreau to Direct and Star in Indie Movie ‘Chef’

He enjoyed massive success when graduating to tentpole film director with the ‘Iron Man’ franchise, but now Jon Favreau is shunning the Hollywood spotlight for a more intimate project – indie film Chef.

The film already has ‘Modern Family’ star Sofia Vergara attached, with Favreau also acting in the movie. Bobby Cannavale and John Leguizamo are in negotiations to join them.

The story will follow the day-to-day life of a chef, focusing on the people that come in and out of the picture. Favreau will take the central role, with Vergara as his ex-wife and Cannavale as his sous-chef.
