Amazon to release Nicolas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon in theaters
Seeing Netflix’s edgy, Emmy-winning auteur and raising it an edgy, Palme d’Or-winning auteur, Variety reports that Amazon Studios has picked up distribution rights to Drive and Only God Forgives director Nicolas Winding Refn’s new movie, The Neon Demon. In a strategy similar to that used for Netflix’s Beasts Of No Nation and Amazon’s own Chi-Raq, the film will be released theatrically in the U.S. next summer, followed by its debut on Amazon Prime.
