Composer Marcelo Zarvos (Fences, The Equalizer 3, May December, Emancipation, The Good Shepherd, The Affair, Ray Donovan) is reuniting with director Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Dear Evans Hansen) on the upcoming comedy Nonnas. The film starring Vince Vaughn, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Linda Cardellini, Brenda Vaccaro, Drea De Matteo, Michael Rispoli, Joe Manganiello & Campbell Scott is based on the true story of Brooklyn native Joe Scaravella. The movie follows Scarvella who – after losing his beloved mother – yearns for a second chance at life and – motivated by his Italian mother’s love of cooking – opens a restaurant unlike any other by hiring the most unlikely team of chefs consisting of grandmothers. Liz Maccie (Siren, A Loud House Christmas) wrote the screenplay. Gigi Pritzker (Drive, Ender’s Game) and Rachel Shane (Motherless Brooklyn, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) are producing the project for Madison Wells, alongside Jack Turner (War Game) for Matador Content. Zarvos has previously scored Chbosky’s 2017 hit feature Wonder. No release or premiere date has been announced yet for Nonnas.
As previously reported, Zarvos also has A24’s horror film The Front Room (to be released in theaters on September 6) coming up.
