First Photos: High Fashion Horror in Refn

Nicolas Winding Refn’s first overt foray into outright horror, the high fashion film The Neon Demon is almost wrapped and being sold worldwide at Cannes. In conjunction, our first look at the film and star Elle Fanning is here.

The Neon Demon stars Fanning, Keanu Reeves, Christina Hendricks, Jena Malone, Bella Heathcoate, Abbey Lee, Desmond Harrington and Karl Glusman. It’s the story of what happens When aspiring model Jesse moves to Los Angeles, and her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will take any means necessary to get what she has.

Refn directs from a script by Refn and Mary Laws. [Screen Daily]
