Their new film takes aim at the rich and famous, but Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult have told Sky News' Backstage podcast that they don't plan on getting caught up in the ridiculous side of their industry.
The Menu is a dark comedy about a group of wealthy people who get far more than they bargained for when they go for dinner at the exclusive restaurant of a celebrity chef , whose carefully prepared meal turns out to be about much more than just the food. From the self-satisfied food critic to the tech bros to the film star who's had his day, the characters have lost touch with reality - something Hoult and Taylor-Joy are keen to avoid for themselves.Ralph Fiennes plays the celebrity chef at the centre of the story.

"I think a lot of what it's poking fun at or making commentary on is the people that have kind of lost the ability to appreciate the privilege that they've got," said Hoult."And I think both of us really appreciate that we get to do something that we love and we care about it and care about all the people that we do it with, so that's what it all stems from."
Taylor-Joy agreed."One of my least favourite things in any situation is any kind of hierarchy. And my favourite sets to be a part of are the ones where your title doesn't stop at actor, you are just a creative that is there to muck in with everybody and hopefully make something much better than you ever could by yourself.The film is directed by Mark Mylod, an executive producer and director on the hit series Succession - which also skewers the ultra rich.
