Vince Vaughn is one of Hollywood's best and has a resume to match. Whenever the Saturn Award-nominated star of the hit Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey is cast in a project, it's certain to attract attention. Add to this the likes of Susan Sarandon (Bull Durham), Lorraine Bracco (Goodfellas), Talia Shire (Rocky), and Brenda Vaccaro (Midnight Cowboy), and a recipe — quite literally — for sparking, star-studded success is born.
Set to release on May 9, 2025, on Netflix, this eye-popping line-up of Hollywood mainstays star in the culinary comedy Nonnas, a film based on the real-life story of Joe Scaravella. Vaughn stars in the film as Scaravella, an MTA employee struggling with the loss of his mother. Looking for a way to harness his grief for good, he is inspired by his mother's recipe books to open his own Italian restaurant in her memory and chooses to hire the titular nonnas to keep the authentic taste of her cooking alive.
In anticipation of the upcoming movie, Collider's Steve Weintraub sat with Vaughn to discuss all things Nonnas, including the impact food can have on memory and what it was like to work with such a legendary bunch of castmates. On top of this, Vaughn discusses the currently in production second season of the aforementioned Bad Monkey, as well as his favorite movie theater, and more.
