The 80s-set vampire thriller Flesh Of The Gods, starring Kristen Stewart and Wagner Moura, has started production in the Canary Islands, Spain, with the second half of the shoot scheduled for Cologne, Germany.
Esmé Creed-Miles (A Head Full of Ghosts), Roland Møller (Citadel) and Alba Baptista (Voltron) have newly joined the cast of Panos Cosmatos’ (Mandy) buzzy genre pic, which was previously pre-bought by A24 for domestic.
Stewart and Moura will portray Raoul and Alex, “a married couple in glittering ’80s L.A. 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.”
The film is written by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en) based on a story by Cosmatos and Walker and has some new production partners. Pic is being produced by Hyperobject Industries, Augenschein Filmproduktion, Nevermind Pictures and XYZ Films. XYZ Films and YouRoc are financing, in association with IPR.VC and Vixens. XYZ will continue dealmaking at the Cannes market. Domestic rights are handled by CAA Media Finance and WME Independent, with XYZ Films handling international sales.
Flesh of the Gods marks the fourth collaboration between Cosmatos and XYZ, as they produced the recent Miley Cyrus film Something Beautiful, which will debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last year. They also have Nekrokosm in development with A24.
Creed-Miles will next star opposite Daisy Edgar-Jones in Georgia Oakley’s Sense and Sensibility for Focus Features and Working Title. She recently wrapped production as the lead of Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala’s A Head Full of Ghosts opposite Rebecca Hall for Lionsgate. Last year she co-starred in Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut, The Chronology of Water.
Danish actor Møller’s breakout performance was in the Oscar-nominated war drama Land of Mine. He’s also known for Atomic Blonde, Papillon, Skyscraper, The Commuter, Riders of Justice and the Amazon spy series Citadel.
Baptista will next be seen in the Amazon feature, Voltron, starring opposite Henry Cavill, Sterling K. Brown for director Rawson Thurber. She is best known for Netflix series Warrior Nun.
Esme Creed-Miles is repped by WME, Independent Talent Group and Omni Artists. Roland Møller is repped by CAA. Alba Baptista is repped by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
