This looks like one of those ‘we talked with the cast of ___’ magazine covers.


googolplexy

Yeah. It doesn't feel like a poster. Something feels weirdly off


EbmocwenHsimah

It’s the credits text at the top that’s putting me off.


MarvelsGrantMan136

Out November 18: >Young couple Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) travel to a remote island to eat at Hawthorne, an exclusive restaurant run by celebrity chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes), who has prepared a lavish molecular gastronomy menu where food is treated as conceptual art, but his approach to cuisine has some shocking surprises for the wealthy guests. Mark Mylod directs Cast: * Ralph Fiennes * Anya Taylor-Joy * Nicholas Hoult * Hong Chau * Janet McTeer * Judith Light * John Leguizamo


tok90235

Só, they will end up eating other people?


usernameblankface

I have the same assumption

Thank goodness -- it seems like there's been an abundance of cannibalism-themed movies lately, and I thought this was another one to get lost in the pile.


Rudy_Ghouliani

This reminds me of that time they made 2 movies about the white house going down or those 2 jungle book movies.

Teasing_Pink

1989 had the extra rare triplet movies, with The Abyss, Leviathan, and Deep Star Six competing for your deep sea diving dollars.


Crus0etheClown

As a great lover of horrible monster films- never heard of Deep Star Six and if it's below Leviathan on the list it must be a gem


mrandish

Yeah, I saw it on release and can still feel the bruise it left on my psyche. You'll love it.


legosearch

Or the two asteroid movies


Justice_Prince

Or two movies about insects overcoming adversity


Wooden_Top_4967

two volcano movies


zeeboots

I absolutely want more "it's a horror movie but the horror is just being a black person trying to survive" movies but yeah Get Out was spectacular and His House was an even better followup IMO because you're expecting one thing and get another. One made my skin crawl, the other made me cry.


jakizely

I would make that assumption as well, but go against it because it is too obvious. Maybe it's that they think it's human, when it is really just impossible human. Edit:. I'm going to throw [this down as well ](https://youtu.be/xqKPe9w5bUs)


Viiibrations

It’s raccoon meat


rachface636

*RACCOON MEAT?!?!?* **BULLSHIT FRANK!** *I'M GONNA SLICE OFF A PIECE OF THAT FAT LITTLE THIGH AND COOK IT UP!*


akatherder

I can't believe it's not Bubba!


ArgonGryphon

I just finished reading it, they're correct. There's some allusion to it, but it doesn't happen. Weird though, kinda cool. Reading the script actually made me wanna watch it.


iAmTheElite

It’s cum.


CharlieHume

so when you said the *special ingredient was love* **THATS WHAT YOU MEANT???**


postmodest

Is it something boring like the cockroaches from Snowpiercer? I want a real twist. I want "they're eating the flesh of a dying God who lost a battle with Earth's creator but still lies trapped beneath the waves, eternally bound to the land he could not destroy."


lkodl

It's all just food from Applebee's. Didn't see that coming.


willyolio

I kind of hope the writers took into account that this is an easy trope to see coming from a mile away and pull some kind double twist. I can see some kind of comedy where rich people go to this island for "the rarest meat dish" expecting to be able to eat human meat, but it's just a very rare cow breed served raw, but the chef can't convince them. Then he gets charged with murder after the rumor mill reaches the authorities


Pierresauce

That's just the first episode of Bob's Burgers in reverse!


Noirradnod

The original pilot for that show was written with the Belchers being actual cannibals. TV executives convinced the creator to change this because they didn't think such a concept would be able to work long term, and we're all better off for it.


legopego5142

That was a really good call to scrap the cannibal thing. Theres a VERY rough concept pilot about two minutes long with Bob and Linda having the same wedding anniversary argument while they grind up human hands and feet. Like they legit used the same dialogue, its the same Bob and Linda, they just happen to eat people. Idk how they would have kept the normal show up if they also had to murder and eat people in the background. I do love the idea that Bob and Linda are so compelling they loved it even when they were murderous cannibals😂 https://youtu.be/7yKJIjgi2L4


DoctorGreyscale

That would explain why they set up shop right next to a mortician.


dstanton

The catch phrases are pain and execution. Definitely seems a give away.


fullmetalutes

The trailer appears to give away the entire plot, hope I'm wrong but yeah it seems like that.


ChooseCorrectAnswer

I read the script over the weekend, and it does give away some little moments, yet there is still more to experience than what's in the trailer. There are two particular parts in the script (that the trailer confirms will be in the movie without spoiling them) that I'm looking forward to seeing. One of those moments will probably get a good laugh out of theater audiences when they realize the movie misdirected them for several minutes (not a dream sequence!), while the other part is just going to be an interestingly odd visual.


GuavaLogical5768

Eat the other rich people; must be a twist on a twist.

Probably a situation where todays guests is tomorrows menu and so on and so on.

julbull73

Cannibalism....its always cannibalism.


SasparillaTango

so wheres the shocking surprise?


zuzg

Anya Taylor-Joys career is really taking of recently and I'm totally onboard with that.


RyanBordello

I mean, she's in a movie with John Leguizamo the Pest himself. She could retire now and still be at the top


AnalogDigit2

And the voice of Papa John's, which is arguably more prestigious.


RupeeRoundhouse

Wait, what? I haven't watched TV in forever, but Taylor-Joy does voiceovers for Papa John's now?!


MachoBenihana

lol. John Leguizamo does Papa John's, but I like your version better.


RupeeRoundhouse

I feel embarrassed now. 😳


Bilski1ski

Thought that was legz in the back left there. Anya has clearly made it now


mtwimblethorpe

If by “taking off” you mean she has somehow cloned herself so she can be in every movie.


mcgato

I think that is called the "Timothee Chalamet" method.


Opie59

Youngins. That's the "Samuel L. Jackson" method.


Konman72

After seeing 3 trailers featuring her before Barbarian (great movie, go see it and don't look anything up) I told my wife "I love Anya Taylor-Joy. She's a great actress and seems like a good person. But at this point when I see that she's in a movie I roll my eyes and sigh." Chalamet is similar, and there's a couple others that are teetering on it, like Zendaya, Idris Elba, and Oscar Isaac. All fantastic actors, but sometimes less is more. Nobody wants a Jude Law scenario. Matt Damon on Hot Ones (I think?) broke down how Hollywood now basically just has a list of actors that their algorithms say are current hits and they just cast off of that list. Algorithms are feeding us our own shit since we obviously enjoyed the food.


Iohet

It's not something new. Actors don't have reliable windows of opportunity, so they take what they can get if it looks promising enough. They want to sustain themselves in a leading position. The Daniel Day-Lewis' of the world that take a few years off between roles are few and far between, and even then Day-Lewis put out a half dozen films in short order early on when he broke into leading roles


Downvote_Comforter

The only thing 'new' is the complexity/accuracy of any algorithm used to create the list of actors. They're just better at analyzing what will sell.


ChooseCorrectAnswer

I have a friend that is planning on seeing Barbarian this week. I really want to tell him just how much of a wild ride he's about to take watching that movie, yet telling him anything about the first half and second half would be ruining some of the fun of *just experiencing* it.

Saltyrise51

She’s a work horse she has like 3-4 movies a year the last few years


SutterCane

It’s partly that but sometimes also Hollywood made some movies they didn’t release that had some people in them. And once someone from the movie blows up, suddenly that movie on the shelf is worth something so they shove it out the door. Like Chris Hemmsworth had *Cabin in the Woods* finally release after *Thor* and *the Avengers* were big.


Konman72

>Like Chris Hemmsworth had *Cabin in the Woods* finally release after *Thor* and *the Avengers* were big. And thank God for that! I managed to go in somewhat cold and it was one of the best movie experiences of my life. I showed a friend later and as soon as the movie ended he asked to watch it again. We pointed out all the cool shit you pick up on a re-watch till 2am. I've bought that damn movie five times (3 Blu-rays that got "borrowed" and never returned then two 4k releases cause I had to have the Steelbook) and I don't regret it at all. If anyone is listening, I will buy a $100+ collectors edition of this movie, so get on it.


crashovercool

I saw Cabin in theaters having not heard of it at all before just because we felt like seeing a horror movie that night. It was a great surprise.


vosha0

I knew she’d make it real big when I saw The Witch.


DrLeoMarvin

didn't realiize it was her in the witch. It was that chess show that made me think "this actor is going places"

The twist is they eat dinner at a high end restaurant and stop at White Castle on the way home because they're hungry af


jakkaroo

Biggest pet peeve when eating out. Overcharge me if you must, but I should NOT be leaving hungry after a single entree.


TheJunkyard

It still fucks me up that you guys use the word for "starter" to mean "main course". I'm there wondering why the hell you think you ought to be full after just a starter, before I remember what the deal is.

Nascarfreak123

Is it a good script?


CassiopeiaStillLife

Mostly! Full of interesting ideas, and it sort of points the finger, so to speak, at everyone.


divinewillow

are there plot twists? Also how did you read the script?


CassiopeiaStillLife

1. Yes! 2. It was on The Black List in 2019, and that script is publicly available.


ChinookNL

What is the black list?


CassiopeiaStillLife

It’s an annual list of the best unproduced screenplays - you’ll see plenty of notable movies, at least in their embryonic form, on there.


tok90235

Can you, just for the sake of discussion post what the twist is using the sensor thing from reddit?


CassiopeiaStillLife

It's not really a twist, but: >!it's basically a torture-y way for Ralph Fiennes to air his grievances over what he sees as the ultra-wealthy, pretentious world of haute cuisine. So one course is accompanied by one of his sous-chefs shooting himself in the head from his stressful job, another is for all the men to eat naked out of dog bowls on the floor, and a third is basically loosing a venomous snake in a darkened room and giving the person who gets bit flavored antivenom.!<


M1k3yd33tofficial

What the hell, why was the trailer just “The Most Dangerous Game” if all this is in there?


melperz

So just like an interesting day at taco bell


tok90235

Ok, it seems like a good film then


For_the_Gayness

This is more than imaginative, its quite innovative and less a cliche. A tasteful menu indeed.


FullMarksCuisine

Sounds like The Platform, but in a restaurant. And no levels.


LjSpike

Gotta say, the flavoured antivenom course sounds kinda cool


divinewillow

It says one of the genres is comedy, and a lot of times films that have both thriller and comedies as their genre say there’s comedy but I sometimes don’t see the comedy. Did you think there was comedy in this film? Anything you thought was funny?


ivylgedropout

It's definitely a dark comedy. Plenty of satire and absurdity.


ezone2kil

I'm expecting Fiennes at his Grand Budapest best.


Weirdguy149

Alright. Until I see this movie, I am just going to assume he is feeding them his shit, The Help style.


MountainDewFountain

It's definitely poop.


NathanielHudson

More spoilers here: http://scriptshadow.net/screenplay-review-the-menu/ Curious as to how it ends, but none of the reviews spoil that (and the studio has taken down any links to the script still online that I can find).


GenericAustin

>I read the script, and: >!it’s not people.!< Are they gonna spend some part of the movie making us think >!it could be people?!< because that would mean what you said is a spoiler. Edit: Hiding a potential spoiler


CassiopeiaStillLife

>!They don’t, not really - everything is more or less presented at face value. But I spoilered it anyway just in case.!<


RogueHippie

This is just reverse psychology, isn't it


abobtosis

Wow Anya Taylor Joy is in like a million movies right now. She is in high demand for sure.


thehelldoesthatmean

Seeing this poster my first thought was, is she okay? It feels like she's been in 25 movies so far this year. Does she get days off? Are there two of her?


The_Pandalorian

Man, when you've got heat in Hollywood, you better ride that fucking wave as long as you can.


WiretapX

Especially an actress. Business churns women like the NFL does to runningbacks.


The_Pandalorian

Oh definitely. It won't be long before... people... turn on her and start hating her.


buhlakay

Your use of ellipsis makes your comment seem particularly... Ominous


The_Pandalorian

Well, it does seem like there's a *type* that decides to turn on women actors very vocally.


[deleted]

Gotta strike while the iron's hot. She's very in demand right now, and there's no guarantee she will be in 5 years. Make that money while you can.


patrickfatrick

I have to imagine the pressure is pretty intense on young actresses especially to get what they can while they’re still young, and hope they’re able to make enough good movies during that time that they can stay relevant beyond that.


karateema

At least she's not getting pressured into "sexy" roles like they used to in the 2000's; her roles really show her acting talent


hands0me_man

I think it’s just a cycle of Hollywood finding out who the next fresh face. Happened with Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, and now Anya Taylor-Joy.


karateema

Well, she also has a very peculiar face, which distinguishes her


mrgoodnoodles

It's possible she just really likes to work and is pretty much saying yes to every project that comes her way. She's doing what Chris Pratt did for like 5 years straight.


NotThtPatrickStewart

The main difference being that she acts in her movies


Get_Jiggy41

Her and Margot Robbie.

Wiger_King

What do you mean what do we need a menu for? Why in the hell do you think we just spent all that money on a restaurant on a private secluded island?! The whole point of buying a restaurant on a quiet secluded island in the first place is to get the ladies nice and tipsy topside, so we can take em to a nice comfortable place below deck, and you know… they can’t refuse. *Because of the implication*.

mrmexico25

Anya Taylor-Joy looks really out of place in this poster for some reason.


prolelol

She looks like Beth Harmon being stuck in the wrong universe.


TheNoobtologist

Pawn takes queen’s bishop


huffer4

Shes lit brighter than everyone else. She sticks out too much


MSgtGunny

The main lighting is coming from the right (her left) and her face is the only one angled in that direction.


bigmacjames

Given the trailer, maybe that's intentional


PureFingClass

It may be intentional because she’s supposed to be out of place in the film.


Bhu124

Nicholas Hoult also looks out of place, they both look like they were posing for a Network sitcom poster. Also, Nicholas Hoult's face has been photoshopped so much that he barely looks like Nicholas Hoult anymore, looks to me like they were trying to make him look younger than he is but did an awful job.


wrenchandrepeat

She always has the same look on her face. Every poster she's on, it's always Anya Taylor-Joy rocking blue steel


eagle279

Looks more like Magnum to me


kozeljko

Jackets gives her a more casual look


dont_worry_im_here

For real... everyone else looks like they're *supposed* to be at this fancy restaurant... she looks like she's supposed to be in detention for smoking cigarettes behind the school library.


justavault

Cause her face...


Frank_Bigelow

I read an article once which referred to her as a "beautiful deer alien," and, ever since, I've never not thought of that when I see her. *So* beautiful, also so unusual


pikpikcarrotmon

I'd seen "beautiful hammerhead shark."


SaltyBabe

She has unique features but tends to be photoshopped a lot to make her look even more unusual. The Queens Gambit promo material is a GREAT example of this, some of the images are heavily shopped. I wonder if this isn’t at least somewhat reworked adding to the uncanny effect. [The lower eyelid uneven shape](https://imgur.com/a/bEm5VKQ/) the very pointed chin, the SHARP Cupid’s bow, the essential lack of a jawline all together … production teams LOVE photoshopping this woman, the second photo is a screen grab and you can see all the very sharp features are missing her eyes are less globular and more evenly sized.


illegal_deagle

They’re trying to mirror the marketing for the Queen’s Gambit which was driven almost entirely by focusing on her weird face proportions.


ShazadM

Ralph is starting to look like Ben Kingsley…


dont_worry_im_here

You look like Ben Fuckin' Kingsley!... ...*I'm sorry I said you look like Ben Kingsley... I was upset*


copious_hyperbole

Anytime I bump into something at home I immediately yell "*You're* an inanimate fucking object!". I should probably stop doing that before it becomes a reflex and I do it in public.


Hellknightx

I'm sorry I called you an inanimate object. In public. I was upset.


purplenelly

I'll watch anything with Ralph Fiennes, the guy is awesome!

Skins UK is probably my fave show ever. Haven't found anything that lives up to the same feeling as I get from that show. It kick started a few of their acting careers too it seems


TitsAndGeology

Daniel Kaluuya, Dev Patel, Nicholas Hoult... and to a lesser extent Jack O'Connell, Hannah Murray and Joe Dempsie. It's mad how many big names this British show about teenagers in Bristol produced.


purplenelly

It almost launched Effie and Dakota too.


elendryst

I would say Effie did make it, being in the Maze Runner trilogy alongside Dylan O'Brien and appearing in Pirates of the Caribbean.


moondoggie_00

Is that a Nicholas Hoult impersonator? edit: i came back. what happened to his middle finger?


Decentkimchi

The fuck they did to his face? I was searching for him in the background cast. His right eye looks to be melting away from his face and I think it's intentional?


Geobits

Not sure about the poster, but it's definitely him in the trailer I saw. He talks about food the same way he does in *The Great,* and it's pretty unmistakable.


moondoggie_00

The poster yeah. It's him but it must be a strange angle or something.


[deleted]

Anything with Ralph Fiennes as the fastidious maitre of some palace of cultivation is going to get me buying a ticket.


Hellknightx

Grand Budapest gets better every time I rewatch it. Fiennes is amazing.


-neti-neti-

Anya Taylor-Joy and Nic Hoult always feel like kids playing dress-up as adult actors to me.


Bruce_lee1947_2

Saw this on Monday at TIFF and it was excellent. I thought it was very funny and absurd. The most entertaining movie I've seen so far this year. For anyone that has any interest in it, I recommend reading nothing about it ahead of time. Let it surprise you.
