A very fun trivia moment from this beloved food horror movie.
Now its going viral again, thanks to Netflix.
The film was clearly a success, but theres one thing that could have made it even better.
The Menu / The Jungle
At one point during production, Daniel Radcliffe was in talks to play himself.
Basically, Daniel would have played a spoiled, entitled version of himself.
The two famously played mortal enemies Harry Potter and Voldemort in the iconicHarry Potterfilm series.
The guests inThe Menudon’t know that murder will be part of their dining experience.
The character is credited only as movie star but is named as George Diaz during the film.
InThe Menu, each of the dinner guests is invited to the doomed event for a specific reason.
Slowik eviscerates the film, telling George:
I saw the filmCalling Doctor Sunshineand I did not enjoy it.
Radcliffe’s proposed role was later rewritten for John Leguizamo to play a fictional actor instead.
It was a Sunday.
My one day off in months.
The most precious day.
This role would have seen Daniel Radcliffe face off against hisHarry Potternemesis Ralph Fiennes (who played Voldemort in the film series).
The day where I was allowed to live.
And I saw the filmCalling Doctor Sunshinealone in the cinema.
The memory of your face in that film, and seeing you again, now haunts me.
What happens to an artist when he loses his purpose?
In the end, Leguizamos performance was great.
