The Filmmaker Behind Nicolas Cage's MANDY Sets Up His Next Sci-Fi Fantasy Film NEKROKOSM
Panos Cosmatos, the filmmaker behind Nicolas Cage’s insane fever dream horror fantasy Mandy, has announced his next film project. That new film is a sci-fi fantasy titled Nekrokosm and he is also writing the script with Maegan Houang (Counterpart).
Nekrokosm is described as a “phantasmagorical fantasy nightmare and set deep within a strange galaxy where two lovers are torn apart as they try to survive a malevolent invasion.” Other than that, we don’t know much else about the story.
But, from what we do know, that sounds like quite a crazy and far-out concept! It seems about right from the guy who made Mandy. If you’ve seen Mandy, you know what this guy is capable of, and I’m curious to see how he handles this next film of his.
Cosmatos is reuniting with producer XYZ Films and is also working with A24 on the picture. Between Mandy and this, Panos directed an episode of Guillermo Del Toros’ Cabinet of Curiosities for Netflix, which is in post-production.
