We love culinary creepiness, so we are pretty excited about the upcoming What You Wish For. (As in, be careful?) In a tale of lies, deceit, and really, really good meals in a gorgeous Latin American villa, what could possibly go wrong? We have your first exclusive look at the What You Wish For trailer, but first let’s take a look at the official synopsis.
Ryan (Nick Stahl) is a talented, down-on-his-luck chef with crushing gambling problems. Circumstances being what they are, he leaves town in a hurry for the safe haven of an unnamed Latin American country where his friend Jack (Brian Groh), a more prestigious chef with his own unique troubles, welcomes him into his home.
Ryan has no idea how Jack’s able to afford his extravagant lifestyle cooking for the elite in paradise; he doesn’t want to feel envious, yet he can’t help but want this life for himself as well. Soon, a grim twist of fate will give that to him. Ryan assumes his friend’s identity and soon discovers just what Jack’s been doing to maintain the lifestyle he so desperately craved.
Well, it sure sounds like Nick Stahl’s Ryan has gotten himself in over his head. But maybe not all is as dire as it sounds! Let’s have a look at that official trailer we promised.
Ok, Ryan. Maybe we spoke too soon. Bitten off more than you can chew may be putting it lightly here! I guess we’ll find out how deep this goes when What You Wish For hits theaters and VOD on May 31.
Written and Directed by Nicholas Tomnay, starring Nick Stahl, Tamsin Topolski, Randy Vasquez, Penelope Mitchell, Juan Carlos Messier, and Brian Groh. Here’s a look at the official poster in the meantime, we’ll keep you posted as more info rolls in. Bon appétit.
