There have been some official press releases and some articles more recently, regarding its trouble getting the proper funding. Curious if there’s been any news I’ve missed or updates. Definitely one of the more interesting filmmakers right now. It’s a shame it’s taken this long to get fully green lit.
Nothing since we last heard it’s been struggling to get funded. Baffling considering the talent involved, hope we hear more this year.

Gelnor Fareed is such an interesting choice for the lead role; he's only ever been in comedic roles (other than his native Spanish movies), so it'll be fun to see him flex his dramatic muscles in this.
Edit: Alright I'm an idiot, I didn't realize this was the name of the guy who directed Mandy, I thought "Panos Cosmatos"/"Flesh of God" were April Fool's jokes and was playing into that.

I could be wrong, but I think u/Broad_Marionberry755 was saying that sincerely, like "I hadn't heard that, is that really true, because that's exciting". Because that was my reaction to your comment.

last i heard, they were still struggling with funding, which sucks because cosmatos is a genius. hopefully, something breaks soon so we can see what he’s got cooking.
