Oscar Isaac (Dune Part 1) and Kristen Stewart (Love Lies Bleeding) have committed to star in Flesh of the Gods, with filming expected to begin later this year. Panos Cosmatos (Mandy) is directing from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker (The Killer), based on a story by Cosmatos and Walker.
“In glittering 80’s LA, married couple, Raoul (Oscar Isaac) and Alex (Kristen Stewart), descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm of 80’s Los Angeles,” reads the official synopsis. “When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic Nameless and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence.”
Hyperobject Industries’ Adam McKay and Betsy Koch are producing along with Mad Gene Media’s Oscar Isaac and Gena Konstantinakos.
“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?” stated Adam McKay.
WME Independent, CAA Media Finance, and XYZ Films are selling the thriller at the upcoming Cannes market.
“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 director Panos Cosmatos.
