Would You Let Wagner Moura Drain You?


It's been eleven whole months since we heard that Mandy director Panos Cosmatos was going to make a sexy vampire movie titled Flesh of the Gods starring Oscar Isaac and Kristen Stewart -- long enough that I managed to totally forget that that sexy-sounding thing was a thing! Well it turns out the hold-up was Isaac, who's had to drop out of the project. But if you're looking at the above photo (which I know you are) then you can probably see where this is going -- yes indeed recent Oscar nominee Wagner Moura has snatched up the role! And yes okay I maybe just wandered off mentally-speaking, wondering what if it was Kristen Stewart who had dropped out and the movie was going to star Oscar & Wagner as the sexy couple instead... but let's not entertain the not-happening and instead enjoy the news that is. As I said in my post about this project last year I have mixed feelings about Mandy but there's no denying that Cosmatos is an interesting and exciting filmmaker -- I especially loved his episode of Guillermo Del Toro's horror anthology series Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix. So if these folks wanna get together and riff on The Hunger in Cosmatos's Refn-adjacent style then I say bring it on, baby. Oh and this bit of news didn't surprise me -- A24 has boarded the movie as distributor. Has anything ever sounded more A24 than this? I can't wait for the merch! In summation since we're here and Oscar Isaac just came up hey look some new pictures of Oscar Isaac:
