‘The Menu’: Read the Screenplay For Seth Reiss And Will Tracy’s Delicious Horror Comedy

Editors note: Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series debuts and celebrates the scripts of films that will factor in this year’s movie awards races.

To eat or not to eat? That is the question posed to a group of affluent diners in the twisted culinary satire The Menu.

The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and has since garnered acting nominations for both Fiennes and
