With shooting close to wrapping up in Los Angeles and plenty of interest shown in the film at Cannes, the first images from Nicolas Winding Refn’s new thriller** The Neon Demon have arrived online via Screen International. Take a look at Elle Fanning and more below.
Refn’s latest trip into the dark heart of culture and humanity finds the likes of Elle Fanning, Jena Malone, Karl Glusman, Bella Heathcote, Abbey Lee, Christina Hendricks, Desmond Harrington and Keanu Reeves in the story of aspiring model Jesse (Fanning) moving to the City Of Angels only to find that it hides some very dark terrors. In short, “Her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women that will do anything to take what she has.” So pretty much business as usual in LA, then.
Refn is about to kick off post-production on the film, which should be with us in early 2016, especially since Icon brought the rights to the film in the UK. From the looks of the pics alone – Nic, put some shoes on! Your feet will get filthy! – this could be another stylish entry into Refn’s canon.
