Kristen Stewart and Wagner Moura Begin Production on A24’s 80s-Set Vampire Thriller “Flesh of the Gods”

A24’s upcoming vampire thriller *Flesh of the Gods* began principal photography in the Canary Islands, Spain. The first half of the shoot will take place on the islands, with the second half scheduled for Cologne, Germany. The film follows a married couple, Raoul (Kristen Stewart) and Alex (Wagner Moura), who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo in 1980s Los Angeles and head into an electric nighttime realm. The schedule alternates locations between Spain and Germany.
