Nicholas Hoult and Anya Taylor-Joy star as a wealthy couple in the trailer for Searchlight Pictures’ upcoming film, The Menu.
The couple is ready for a lavish evening out at an ultra-exclusive restaurant. After being ferried to dinner via private boat, they’re sat down with ten other guests, ready to dig into the creations of the mysterious Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes).
“He’s not just a chef. He’s a storyteller,” Hoult tells Taylor-Joy. “The game is trying to guess what the overarching theme of the entire meal is going to be. You won’t know until the end.”
While the meal is intended to function as a puzzle, where guests have to try to figure out its theme before the night’s over, it quickly takes a dark turn and leaves Hoult and Taylor-Joy fighting for their lives.
After guests are shocked by gun shots and one man having his fingers cut off, they’re given a 45-second head start by Fiennes to run.
The cast also includes Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Judith Light and John Leguizamo.
The Menu premieres in theaters on November 18.
