With Birdman and The Revenant under his belt, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu has become a powerful force in Hollywood, and up next he’s turning his attention to horror. He didn’t actually have anything to do with Emiliano Rocha Minter’s debut feature, but he’s come on board to present it.
As reported by Variety, Iñarritu and Carlos Reygadas (Japan) are backing the horror thriller We Are the Flesh, which Reel Suspects has acquired world sales rights to. It will world premiere February 2nd at the Rotterdam Fest, in the Bright Future section.
Reygadas is a co-producer and Iñarritu has committed to talk up the title to Mexico’s press.
We Are the Flesh is set in a post-apocalypse Mexico, where a brother and sister, Lucio and Fauna, wander a ruined city for years in search of food and shelter. They find their way into one of its last surviving buildings, where a man makes them a dangerous offer to survive the outside world. As they help him transform the building into a womb-like cave, a disquieting sexual relationship emerges, along with a dynamic in which darker instincts do their destructive work.
