Refn directed the Canadian Oscar nominee in both films, and
the duo's chemistry has been widely written about in their
reviews. "Drive" earned Refn a best director award at the Cannes
Film Festival, while "Only God Forgives", which features
gruesome torture scenes, split critics sharply.
"Well Ryan and I, we're twins so we're always working, either on
a personal or a professional level," Refn told Reuters in an
interview. "So we have decided that we want to make a movie
together very, very soon."
Refn, who did not give further details of any potential project
between the two, has just completed filming "The Neon Demon"
with Elle Fanning and Keanu Reeves, which has been described by
Hollywood media as a "female-driven horror" movie.
The BAFTA-nominated director has also just released a
coffee-table book "The Act of Seeing", which showcases a
collection of posters from exploitation-era films, which he
bought from a friend.
"I got this idea (to do the book) like a historical archive
about something that was trash but then presenting it in a high
way," he said. "It's a great historical archive in seeing how
films were promoted at a specific time before ... pornography
was legalized."
