- Wagner Moura replaces Oscar Isaac in the lead role of A24’s upcoming vampire thriller “Flesh of the Gods,” as reported by an insider.
- A24 has secured U.S. distribution rights for the film, which is written by Andrew Kevin Walker and based on a story co‑created by Walker and director Panos Cosmatos.
- Panos Cosmatos describes the movie as a “glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence,” set in 1980s Los Angeles and starring a wealthy married couple who attend raves.
- Kristen Stewart not only stars opposite Moura but also serves as a producer through Nevermind Pictures, collaborating with Maggie McLean.
- Adam McKay produces the film through his HyperObject Industries banner, with Betsy Koch also credited as a producer.
- XYZ serves as executive producer and foreign sales agent for “Flesh of the Gods.”
- Wagner Moura previously won a Golden Globe and Cannes Best Actor award for “The Secret Agent,” and this film marks his second collaboration with A24 after starring in “Civil War” (2024).
Why it matters: A24 secures a high‑profile lead in Wagner Moura, a Golden Globe‑winning actor, replacing Oscar Isaac and potentially boosting the film’s market appeal. Moura’s involvement also deepens his partnership with A24, while Stewart gains a producer credit, expanding her creative stake.
