Nicolas Winding Refn says neon demon inspired neon's name

Nicolas Winding Refn has revealed that his 2016 film The Neon Demon directly inspired the name of the production and distribution company NEON. The director is now collaborating with the company on his upcoming project Her Private Hell.

Refn recently explained the connection while discussing his return to the Cannes Film Festival. He noted that NEON's founders drew from the title of his hyper-stylized 2016 movie starring Elle Fanning. The film will debut at Cannes on May 18 before its U.S. release on July 24.

Netflix has officially announced a sequel to its record-breaking animated film KPop Demon Hunters, with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning to helm the project. The follow-up marks the first endeavor under their new multi-year deal with the streamer for animated content. The original movie, which became Netflix's most-watched title ever, is nominated for two Oscars this weekend.

Neon, the Oscar-winning studio behind films like Parasite and Anora, is in discussions to sell a significant stake to production company Department M. The deal, backed by private investors including those from Qatar, has been a topic at recent industry events. If completed, it could reshape Neon's structure while retaining key leadership.
