The Avenging Silence, Nicolas Winding Refn‘s first film since 2016’s body horror The Neon Demon, may be in Cannes Fest this year.
The Danish director announced the project shortly after Neon Demon premiered in Cannes, pitching the film as his twisted take on the spy thriller. “Ian Fleming + William Burroughs + NWR = The Avenging Silence,” he posted on social media.
After a long gestation, and excursions into TV with Netflix’s Copenhagen Cowboy, the Amazon series Too Old to Die Young and the BBC-produced kids adventure tale The Famous Five, Refn shot The Avenging Silence in Korea last year.
