The Hundred Foot Journey
The Hundred Foot Journey will hit the big screen in September, and marks the return of Helen Mirren.
The Hundred Foot Journey is a big screen adaptation of the book of the same name by Richard C. Morais, and will see Lasse Hallstrom back in the director's chair.
Hallstrom has brought us Dear John and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen in recent years, and this is his first film since Safe Haven next year.
A brand new set of images has been released from the film, and we have them for you to take a look at:
Oscar winner Helen Mirren takes on the central role of Madame Mallory, and is joined on the cast list by Charlotte Le Bon, Manish Dayal, Rohan Chand, and Om Puri.
In The Hundred-Foot Journey, Hassan Kadam (Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France.
Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant - the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai.
That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Mirren), gets wind of it.
Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate to all-out war between the two establishments - until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine and for Mme. Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Le Bon), combine with his mysteriously delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavours of life that even Mme. Mallory cannot ignore.
At first Mme. Mallory’s culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan’s gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.
The Hundred-Foot Journey is released 12th September.
