Will Smith to star in 'Cooked' movie?Posted Apr 5th 2007 1:02PM by Joanne LutynecFiled under: Books, Television/FilmWill Smith is apparently in talks to star as Jeff Henderson, a poverty-striken, inner-city black kid-turned Executive Chef of the Café Bellagio in Las Vegas.Henderson's fascinating life story was depicted in the recent publication 'Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove, from Cocaine to Foie Gras,' a memoir detailing how the one-time cocaine dealer and prisoner worked his way up from prison dishwasher to cook, sparking his dream to one day become a world-class chef. Overcoming adversity, racism, plus a criminal record, Chef Jeff eventually became one of the top in his field, working in such establishments as Hotel Bel-Air, L'Ermitage, and the Ritz Carlton. IMDB is showing Cooked as scheduled for 2009, but no further details are available at this time.
