Mandy filmmaker Panos Cosmatos is back with a new sci-fi fantasy project, reuniting with producer XYZ Films and working with A24 for Nekrokosm. Maegan Houang (Counterpart) writes the script from a story by her and Cosmatos, with the latter directing.

Nekrokosm  is being described as a “phantasmagorical fantasy nightmare” as per The Hollywood Reporter, set deep within a strange galaxy where two lovers are torn apart as they try to survive a malevolent invasion. Aside from this however, nothing else is known about the screenplay.

Prior to directing the Nicolas Cage-starring Mandy, Cosmatos wrote and directed the 2010 sci-fi horror Beyond the Black Rainbow. And if Mandy’s success is anything to go by, then a new genre project from the Italian-Canadian filmmaker is cause for excitement.

Stay tuned for more info regarding Nekrokosm and in the meantime, read STARBURST’s interview with Panos Cosmatos here.
