Wagner Moura Joining Kristen Stewart to Stake Vampires in Panos Cosmatos’ ‘Flesh of the Gods’
A new vampire film entitled Flesh of the Gods is on its way from visionary director Panos Cosmatos (Mandy).
Deadline reports today that Wagner Moura has joined Kristen Stewart in the cast, fresh off his first Academy Award nomination for his role in The Secret Agent.
Moura takes the place of Oscar Isaac, who the outlet claims had to exit the project due to scheduling conflicts.
Along with the casting news, A24 has boarded the picture as a U.S. distributor.
Written by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en), Flesh of the Gods “follows Raoul (Moura) and Alex (Stewart), a married couple in glittering ’80s Los Angeles who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm. 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.”
Adam McKay and Betsy Koch are producing for HyperObject Industries, alongside Jonas Katzenstein and Maximilian Leo for Germany’s augenschein Filmproduktion, and Stewart and Maggie McLean for Nevermind Pictures. XYZ Films is handling international sales and financing the project in association with IPR.VC.
