To the delight of vampire enthusiasts, a new immortal is in town. Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Elizabeth Olsen has just joined forces with Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac in the new vampire film Flesh Of The Gods. This haunting new thriller, set in the 1980s, promises to fulfil our appetite for vampire action.
Directed by Panos Cosmatos and based on a story co-written by Cosmatos and Andrew Kevin Walker, Flesh Of The Gods is a plot-driven exploration of gothic atmosphere and transformation. Set against the glimmering backdrop of 1980s LA, the film follows a married couple, Raoul and Alex (Isaac and Stewart), whose nocturnal wanderings lead them into the company of a mysterious figure (Olsen). Their seductive encounter descends them into a world of glamour, danger and escalating violence.
“Bella, where the hell have you been, loca?” Jacob’s iconic line from Twilight: New Moon resonates with a question many fans ask: where has our favourite vampire gone? The answer lies in Flesh Of The Gods, which brings Stewart back to her vampire roots! This upcoming film not only reawakens the gothic allure of vampire cinema but also casts Stewart – a celebrated queer icon – in a role where she thrives amid the genre’s glitz and inevitable bloodshed.
Widely praised for his versatility and for challenging Hollywood stereotypes, Star Wars’ legend Oscar Isaac is a compelling match for Stewart. A vocal advocate for LGBTQIA rights, Isaac has vocally opposed Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which restricted classroom discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation.
Last year Kristen Stewart sent sapphics ablaze with her performance in the cult classic film Love Lies Bleeding. She also starred in the dystopian romance Love Me.
