Kristen Stewart Returning to Vampire Movies with Oscar Isaac
Kristen Stewart is returning to vampire movies with her next project, Flesh of the Gods, reports Variety.
Co-starring Oscar Isaac, the thriller comes from director Panos Cosmatos, whose ultraviolent Mandy was one of the best films released in 2018. The screenplay was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, best known for his work on Se7en and more recently, David Fincher’s The Killer. Adam McKay is among the producers.
Per the official logline, Flesh of the Gods follows the married couple Raoul (Isaac) and Alex (Stewart) who “descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm of ‘80s LA. When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic woman known as Nameless and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence.”
In a statement, Cosmatos added that the film “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.”
McKay added, “This director, this writer, these incredible actors, vampires, choice ’80s 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.”
Thus far, Stewart has toplined two films released this year: Love Lies Bleeding and Love Me. She also stars in the comedy Sacramento alongside Michael Cera, set to premiere at Tribeca Film Festival next month.
Meanwhile, Isaac recently voiced Spider-Man 2099 in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and is currently filming for Guillermo Del Toro’s Netflix Frankenstein adaptation.
