Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac are set to star in the vampire thriller Flesh of the Gods, directed by Panos Cosmatos, the filmmaker best known for his 2018 horror film, Mandy. Flesh of the Gods is written by Andrew Kevin Walker, best known as the screenwriter behind 1990s classic Se7en, and is based on a story by Cosmatos and Walker.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Flesh of the Gods is set in Los Angeles during the glittering 1980s. The story follows a married couple, Raoul (Isaac) and Alex (Stewart), who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm of 80’s LA. When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic woman and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence. Cosmatos in a statement: “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.”
Flesh of the Gods will begin filming later this year, and will be presented at the Cannes film market.
