MPI Media Group announced today that celebrated Chef Mario Batali has joined the cast of it's darkly comedic thriller, Bitter Feast, currently filming in Manhattan and Woodstock, NY. The film, written and directed by Joe Maggio ("Virgil Bliss," "Milk and Honey") stars Josh Leonard ("Humpday") and James LeGros ("Zodiac"). LeGros plays a New York Chef and TV cooking personality, who takes culinary revenge on the food critic (Leonard), who recently savaged his restaurant in a review. Batali plays the owner of the restaurant. The film is being produced by MPI Media Group and Glass Eye Pix with producer Larry Fessenden ("Last Winter"), who also appears in the film. Fessenden and MPI recently teamed up to produce Ti West's "House of the Devil," which is slated for a fall release from Magnolia pictures.
So Mario 'Iron Chef' Batali's been added to this movie Bitter Feast? I remember James LeGros from Phantasm! Cast is getting bigger gradually I see. Sounds good, interesting plot!
