Just following this morning’s announcement that The Neon Demon will be making its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month, a new trailer has been released. Though the trailer doesn’t reveal too much about the plot, writer/director Nicolas Winding Refn’s stunning, bold style is ever present, as are hints of his brand of violence.  Inspired after directing Drive, Refn felt the urge to make “a horror film about vicious beauty.”  And beautiful the trailer is, though I’m predicting now this will be one polarizing film when released unto the masses.

With Elle Fanning playing lead, The Neon Demon also stars Abbey Lee, Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves, Jena Malone, Desmond Harrington, and Bella Heathcote.

When aspiring model Jesse moves to Los Angeles, her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will take any means necessary to get what she has.
