The power of cinema compels him
While Nicolas Winding Refn had been busy developing I Walk With The Dead, it appears another project has supplanted it in on his To Do list. The Drive director is now preparing to shoot Los Angeles-set horror thriller The Neon Demon .
With distribution rights to the film up for grabs at the American Film Market, The Neon Demon (which Refn co-wrote with Mary Laws) is being labelled as a terror tale set in the City of Angels and featuring a young female-led cast. Which would be in keeping with his stated drive to work on movies with more female characters after his recent spate of Gosling time.

“One morning I woke and realized I was both surrounded and dominated by women,” Refn tells Deadline. “Strangely, a sudden urge was planted in me to make a horror film about vicious beauty.” He’s looking to start the cameras rolling early next year with regular collaborators Cliff Martinez (composer) and Matthew Norman (editor) joined by a new face, director of photography Philippe Le Sourd.
