    Drive Director Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon Causes Cannes Walkouts

    It appears that Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn’s new movie ‘The Neon Demon’ is causing quite the kerfuffle at Cannes. At a screening of the new movie yesterday, which stars Elle Fanning as a wannabe teenage model and Jena Malone as fashion business make-up artist, critics were treated to themes of horror, murder, sex and necrophilia in the 'Drive’ director’s twisted take on the fashion industry. Sadly, this is not the first time that an audience at Cannes has berated Refn.

    Amazon To Distribute Nicolas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon

    An independent production, it has been purchased at the American Film Market by Amazon Studios - who will also distribute the film to US cinemas. While the online retail giant branched out into original content with the formation of Amazon Studios back in 2010, this will be their first acquisition to be released theatrically, rather than taken directly to their Amazon Video platform.
