WHAT IS ‘THE NEON DEMON’?


“L.A., because of all the lights.”
– Elle Fanning (Jesse)

“Otherworldly beauty, but [also] the dark underbelly of that.”
– Jena Malone (Ruby)

“The industry and the city. It’s glossy and shiny but it will eat you alive.”
– Bella Heathcote (Gigi)

“A demonic force…camouflaged in glitter and stilettos.”
- Abbey Lee (Sarah)

“That kind of empty, shallow notoriety or celebrity that doesn’t really mean anything in the end and…eats people up and spits them out.”
- Karl Glusman (Dean)

“There’s something about the light - you can call it artificial light, but I guess all light is artificial besides the sun - and the neon quality of it. [There’s] something about those colors that attracts and repulses at the same time. And then there’s the demon part. What is the demon within; what is the demon on the outside? Is it ego? It may be a fear of death. Or desire. It’s all sorts of fun stuff.”
- Keanu Reeves (Hank)

“It makes me think of speed and a bunch of lights on Sunset. And the devil.”
- Desmond Harrington (Jack)

“The dark underbelly of beauty and the things we would do for beauty.”
- Christina Hendricks (Roberta)

“You have to talk to Nic about the title.”
- Mary Laws, co-writer

“A great cover for a fetish magazine.”
- Nicolas Winding Refn, Director, Screenwriter

“Heading for the flashing light and the glamour but also that there’s something twisted and a darker side to it.”
- Lene Børglum, Producer

“The word neon is a reflection of the location;
the word demon is a reflection of the obsession.”
- Rachel Dik, Executive Producer

“It feels a little bit banal to try and explain it because it’s kind of the essence of the movie and whatever I say in English
is going to sound very cheesy.”
- Natasha Braier, Cinematographer

“When you see neon lights, you think something is super glamorous. And I think that’s probably very misleading in most cases.”
- Nicole Daniels, Casting Director

“The demon within is highlighted? I don’t know.”
- Courtney Bright, Casting Director

“It’s going to be a title of one of the musical pieces.”
- Cliff Martinez, Composer

“It means it’s scary, you know? And I think it’s exciting, you know?”
- Alex Uceda, Caterer (Alex in the Kitchen)
