Panos Cosmatos and Maegan Houang are teaming up with A24 and XYZ Films to bring us Nekrokosm and that single sentence alone already has our minds racing of all that could be in store. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming project from the Mandy director “is a science fiction fantasy” with Maegan Houang (Counterpart) writing the script from a story co-created with Cosmatos.
While the official logline has not been shared, it is apparently being described as a “phantasmagorical fantasy nightmare set in a strange galaxy where two lovers are torn apart as they try to survive a malevolent invasion.” Cosmatos is taking us to the cosmos and we suspect that is going to be pretty spectacular. Now there is no mention whatsoever of this, but we just can’t help but think of Nicolas Cage in space, wreaking havoc and hellbent on revenge, just as like an ultimate wishlist of what might be. To borrow from a now-defunct but once popular fast food catchphrase, “Hey, it could happen!”
Whatever is in the works will be undoubtedly awesome. Cosmatos’ distinct visual style begs to be launched into a strange galaxy where it can be fully unleashed unto our eagerly awaiting eyeballs.
