FLESH OF THE GODS: Kristen Stewart, Oscar Isaac Tapped For Vampire Thriller From ‘Mandy’ Director
Kristen Stewart (Love Lies Bleeding) and Oscar Isaac (The Card Cou6nter) will star in Flesh Of The Gods, a new vampire thriller from Mandy director Panos Cosmatos. Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en, 8MM, Netflix’s The Killer) penned the script he and Cosmatos storied, with plans to shoot later this year.
Set in glittering 80’s Los Angeles, Flesh Of The Gods focuses on married couple Raoul (Isaac) and Alex (Stewart). Each evening they descend from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into the city’s electric nighttime realm. When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic “Nameless” and her hard-partying cabal, the two are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence.
Adam McKay and Betsy Koch of Hyperobject Industries are producing alongside Isaac and Mad Gene Media cohort Gena Konstantinakos. CAA Media Finance and WME Independent are repping domestic at the Cannes market this month with XYZ Films handling international.
Flesh of the Gods marks the third collaboration between Cosmatos and XYZ. They also have Nekrokosm in development with A24.
“This director, this writer, these incredible actors, vampires, choice 80’s punk, style and attitude for miles… that’s the film we’re bringing you today. We think it’s wildly commercial AND wildly artful. Our ambitions are to make a movie that ripples through popular culture, fashion, music, and film. Can you tell how excited I am?” said McKay.
“Like Los Angeles itself FLESH OF THE GODS inhabits the liminal realm between fantasy and nightmare. Both propulsive and hypnotic, FLESH will take you on a hot rod joy ride deep into the glittering heart of hell,” said Cosmatos.
Isaac is repped by WME and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher. Stewart is repped by WME and McKuin Frankel Whitehead. Cosmatos is repped by CAA and Weintraub Tobin Chediak Coleman Grodin. Walker is repped by Brillstein entertainment Partners and Ziffren Brittenham.
