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 via a promo 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."
It certainly sounds... like a Nicolas Winding Refn movie!
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.
