Berlin– Keanu Reeves and Christina Hendricks have joined the cast of Nicolas Refn’s “The Neon Demon,” the subversive female-driven horror tale that marks Danish helmer’s follow-up to “Only God Forgives.”

Sold and financed by Gaumont and Wild Bunch, “The Neon Demon” toplines Elle Fanning (“Super 8″).

Abbey Lee (“Drive”), Jena Malone (“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1), and Bella Heathcote (“Beneath Hill 60″) round up the eclectic cast of up-and-coming actresses.

Refn’s partner, Lene Borglum (“Valhalla Rising,” “Only God Forgives”) is producing via their joint company, Space Rocket.

The key crew of “The Neon Demon” comprises Refn‘s regular collaborators: editor Matthew Newman and composter Cliff Martinez. They will be joined by Dp Philippe Le Sourd (“The Grand Master”).

Gaumont and Wild Bunch are shopping the project at the Efm and have started discussions with U.S. buyers.

Production is slated to begin March 30.
