Some good news is coming in via Variety, who reports that the Nicolas Winding Refn-directed The Neon Demon has been acquired by Amazon Studios. They plan to release it theatrically Stateside next summer.
The Neon Demon stars Keanu Reeves, Christina Hendricks, Alessandro Nivola, Elle Fanning (Super 8), Abbey Lee (Drive), Jena Malone (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1), Bella Heathcote (Beneath Hill 60), and Karl Glusman (Stonewall).
Refn said of The Neon Demon, “One morning I woke and realized I was both surrounded and dominated by women. Strangely, a sudden urge was planted in me to make a horror film about vicious beauty.”
Refn’s regular collaborators, editor Matthew Newman and composer Cliff Martinez, will be joined by The Grandmaster director of photography Philippe Le Sourd on the film. Refn’s partner, Lene Borglum, will produce under their Space Rocket banner.
Synopsis:
When aspiring model Jesse moves to Los Angeles, her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will take any means necessary to get what she has.
