CNN’s Anthony Bourdain is as passionate for film as he is for food. So, naturally, the “Parts Unknown” host is avoiding anything that looks familiar — including Rome’s iconic Colosseum.
“We wanted to make this the most beautiful thing we’d ever shot,” Bourdain told TheWrap. “We set out ahead of time looking to do something really, really special.”
And original.
“Parts Unknown” is nominated for five Emmys, including Outstanding Informational Series, Outstanding Cinematography, writing, Outstanding Sound Mixing and Outstanding Sound Editing. One of Bourdain’s proudest achievements is the Rome episode, which is nominated for cinematography and sound awards award — but don’t expect to see many familiar sites.
