Honestly, are other details necessary? Kristen Stewart (Love Lies Bleeding; that other vampire movie) and Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight, pictured above) are set to co-star in the next film from Panos Cosmatos, the director behind the trippy-ass Nicolas Cage film Mandy, and also the somewhat-less-seen Beyond the Black Rainbow.
Flesh of the Gods, as this film is dramatically titled, is written by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en), with a story by Walker and Cosmatos. The Hollywood Reporter says the film “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.”
I love the phrase “hard-partying,” like if you do it enough, it becomes akin to hard work.
In a statement, Cosmatos said, “Both propulsive and hypnotic, Flesh will take you on a hot rod joy ride deep into the glittering heart of hell.”
Sign me up. Sign us all up.
Flesh of the Gods has not yet begun production, so it’s anyone’s guess when we will get to ride this hot-rod all the way to hell’s sparkly, presumably blood-drenched heart. But we’re waiting. Patiently.
