Calling all foodies and film fans – if you’re craving an introspective story about family, fear, and finding the strength to follow a dream, Jon Favreau serves it up in “Chef.” Though he’s most recently known for his work helming big budget blockbusters like “Iron Man” and “Iron Man 2″ Favreau steps outside the expected with “Chef” – a lighthearted comedy about a man’s personal journey to reignite a passion, and reconnect with his son. “Chef” follows the story of Carl Casper (Favreau), who decides to start a food truck business after losing his job at a high profile restaurant. The journey takes Casper across the country, bringing new experiences, challenges, and the opportunity to spend some overdue time with his son, played by Emjay Anthony.

Harrison Ford’s relationship with Han Solo, the character he played in the original “Star Wars” trilogy, is what you might call complicated. He’s generally open to discussing his other iconic roles (AKA Indiana Jones) but he tends to bristle when reporters raise the subject of Solo. Once, during a 2010 interview with David Letterman after the host had labeled “Star Wars” as iconic, Ford quickly dismissed that notion by grumbling, “Yeah, yeah,” then referred to his character as Ham Yoyo.
