Death appears to be one of the selections available on the menu in Searchlight Pictures’ thriller, The Menu. The new trailer finds the guests dining on sumptuous meals before realizing it’s quite possible they won’t live long enough to leave any reviews of their experiences.
Two-time Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes (Schindler’s List, The English Patient) stars as the chef who creates the lavish meal. Nicholas Hoult (The Great) and Anya Taylor-Joy (Last Night in Soho) play a young couple who, unfortunately, are among the invited guests.
The cast also includes Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Judith Light, Reed Birney, and Paul Adelstein. Aimee Carrero, Arturo Castro, Mark St. Cyr, Rob Yang, and John Leguizamo also star.
Emmy Award-winner Mark Mylod (Succession) directed from a screenplay by Seth Reiss and Will Tracy. Adam McKay and Betsy Koch serve as producers.
Searchlight Pictures has set a November 18, 2022 theatrical release.
The Plot: “A couple (Taylor-Joy and Hoult) travels to a coastal island to eat at an exclusive restaurant where the chef (Fiennes) has prepared a lavish menu, with some shocking surprises.”
