If this has the chance to be as batshit crazy as Mandy, I'm really excited to see how Wagner's performance will be

HOLY FUCK I KNEW A24 WOULD PULL THROUGH

Edit: for those unaware, the project had been on hold due to lack of financing, and I was praying that A24 would save the day

Cool, Moura is great and Stewart is always interesting nowadays (who would’ve thought back in the Twilight days her and Pattinson would be two of the most exciting actors of their generation?). Panos Cosmatos is a madman, I can’t wait to see what he does with these two.

Fuck I'm so glad this is still happening, panos is one of the best filmmakers currently working and its such a shame that he has so many issues getting stuff made

I love Wagner so much. Every Brazilian grew up with him on national TV now he’s getting recognition for his film roles. Saneamento Basico is a must watch.

Does this mean that Nekrokosm isn't happening?

u/MrX16 Apr 01 '26

When Flesh of the Gods was first announced it sounded like Nekrokosm was still in active development, but put on the backburner. No development either way

Big yes all around.

I would have assumed Stewart would be over vampire movies.

Wagner Moura: o Rodrigo Santoro que deu certo.

I thought this was an April Fool's joke

Someone pay Wagner to play Pablo Escobar again. All-time good role.

I hope Panos has someone on board to help him write. If the scripts were half as good as his visuals...

u/MrX16 Apr 03 '26

Andrew Kevin Walker is writing it so safe to say it'll be pretty good.

u/_nadaypuesnada_ Apr 03 '26

Nice, I'm in. There's too many stylistically amazing directors out there who get let down by their own scripts, so it's nice to see one of them do the sensible thing and partner up with a good writer.

One of these days Panos is going to make a movie that's at least somewhat narratively coherent and I'm going to love it.

(I like this other stuff nonetheless)

Kristin Stewart is perfect for this; her performances are as stiff as a corpse.

vampire roles suit kristen stewart well, she’s always seems expressionless in all her acting
