Berlanti Productions is producing in association with Warner Bros. Television, with Berlanti, David Katzenberg and Sara Schechter executive producing.
Grahame-Smith, whose credits also include Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Dark Shadows, is writing as well as executive producing.

‘Flesh of the Gods’ – Kristen Stewart & Oscar Isaac Starring in ’80s Vampire Movie from Panos Cosmatos!
A hugely exciting new project from visionary director Panos Cosmatos (Mandy) has been announced by Variety, with Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac starring in Flesh of the Gods.
The cherry on top? Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en, The Killer) wrote the screenplay!
Variety details the storyline, “Flesh of the Gods is set in glittering ’80s L.A., where married couple Raoul (Isaac) and Alex (Stewart) each evening descend from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into the city’s electric nighttime realm.
“When they cross paths with a mysterious and enigmatic figure known as Nameless and her hard-partying cabal, the pair are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills and violence.”
“Like Los Angeles itself, ‘Flesh of the Gods’ inhabits the liminal realm between fantasy and nightmare,” Cosmatos said. “Both propulsive and hypnotic, ‘Flesh’ will take you on a hot rod joy ride deep into the glittering heart of hell.”
Producer Adam McKay adds, “This director, this writer, these incredible actors, vampires, choice ’80s punk, style and attitude for miles… that’s the film we’re bringing you today. We think it’s wildly commercial and wildly artful. Our ambitions are to make a movie that ripples through popular culture, fashion, music and film. Can you tell how excited I am?”
The project is launching in Cannes with WME Independent, CAA Media Finance and XYZ Films.
