At one point it was said Nicolas Winding Refn would reteam with Drive co-star for The Neon Demon, the director’s female-led horror film expected for 2016, but since its official announcement we haven’t heard anything of Mulligan’s involvement and today The Wrap reports it will be Elle Fanning (Maleficent) leading the feature and Refn has taken to Twitter to confirm the news.
Dear Friends – Yes it's true, @ElleFanning will be a super cool wonder woman in THE NEON DEMON. #ellefanning #theneondemon

Little is known about the feature other than it’s a horror tale with a young female driven cast, written by Refn and Mary Laws.
Cliff Martinez will score the feature with The Grandmaster DP, Philippe Le Sourd, serving as cinematographer. Production begins in March in Los Angeles.
