Nicolas Winding Refn Teams With ‘Spectre’ Writers For What May Or May Not Be ‘The Avenging Silence’

Deadline broke the news. Refn is developing and producing the movie with Lene Borglum, and will additionally direct. Plot details are being kept under very tight wraps. However, based on what little information we have about it so far, the new film sounds like it could be The Avenging Silence. Refn let slip his plans for that project last year, describing it as a spy movie to be shot in Tokyo:
As Refn has previously explained, that character is “a mythological creature that has a mysterious past but cannot relate to reality because he’s heightened and pure fetish.” Deep stuff.
Refn’s The Neon Demon, which follows an aspiring model (Elle Fanning) in Los Angeles, is expected out sometime this year. Also on Refn’s to-do list is John Hyams’ remake of Maniac Cop, which Refn will produce. No start date or release date has been confirmed for Refn’s untitled new movie, but he’s been releasing pictures at a pretty steady clip so we’d expect it to get going sooner rather than later.
