Deadline initially broke the news that Mark Mylod will direct Searchlight Pictures’ (Ready or Not, The Night House) horror-comedy The Menu, which promises to cook up many surprises.

With the announcement came news that Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch, Last Night in Soho) is starring alongside Ralph Fiennes, while THR adds today that Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies, Mad Max: Road Fury) is in talks to co-star.

“The film is a darkly comedic psychological thriller set in the world of eccentric culinary culture, centering on a young couple (Taylor-Joy and Hoult) who visit an exclusive restaurant on a remote island where an acclaimed chef (Fiennes) has prepared a lavish tasting menu, with some shocking surprises.”

Hoult reteams with Mylod, who directed HBO’s “Succession”.

The Menu was penned by Will Tracy and Seth Reiss

Adam McKay (The Big Short) is producing The Menu for Searchlight
