Elle Fanning In Talks For Nicolas Winding Refn’s ‘The Neon Demon’

Refn and Mary Laws scripted The Neon Demon. Plot details are pretty scarce at the moment but Refn has previously explained the picture as follows:
The Neon Demon seems to be a new iteration of Refn’s I Walk With the Dead. Carey Mulligan attached to lead that one as of a few years ago, but it doesn’t look like she’s involved with The Neon Demon.
One morning I woke and realized I was both surrounded and dominated by women. Strangely, a sudden urge was planted in me to make a horror film about vicious beauty. After making Drive and falling madly in love with the electricity of Los Angeles, I knew I had to return to tell the story of The Neon Demon. This movie is a manifestation of the strong ties between us and will lead to many more adventures.
At 16, Fanning already has a stronger resume than many actors twice her age. She mixes blockbusters (Maleficent) and indies (Low Down), and has worked with several big-name directors including Cameron Crowe (We Bought a Zoo), Sofia Coppola (Somewhere), and David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).
