Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's (The Neon Demon, Drive, Only God Forgives) latest project, Her Private Hell, has been shrouded in secrecy since it was first announced last year, and we finally have some details along with a first look at a promotional poster featuring star Sophie Thatcher.
The official synopsis reads: "As a strange mist engulfs a futuristic metropolis and unleashes an elusive deadly presence, a troubled young woman sets out in search of her father. During this quest, her fate crosses that of an American GI engaged in a desperate journey to snatch his daughter from Hell."
Thatcher (The Book of Boba Fett, Heretic, Companion) plays the "troubled young woman," and we have heard that the film will feature Refn's usual blend of surreal imagery and extreme violence.
The filmmaker hasn't said much about the movie himself, but did previously refer to his next project as "an original story full of glitter and a lot of sex and violence."
Her Private Hell will be presented out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival this May. The film also stars Charles Melton, Havana Rose Liu and Diego Calva.
