- Refn directs his first feature film in ten years, 'Her Private Hell,' set for a U.S. theatrical release on July 24.
- NEON will roll the film out in 800‑1,200 theaters, a moderate launch that lands between Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' and Sony/Marvel’s 'Spider‑Man: Brand New Day.'
- Cannes will host the world premiere of 'Her Private Hell' in its out‑of‑competition slate later this month.
- Sophie Thatcher leads an ensemble cast that includes Charles Melton, Dougray Scott, Diego Calva, and Kristine Froseth in a futuristic thriller featuring a killer known as Leather Man.
- IFC plans a wide release of its TIFF acquisition 'Motor City' the same weekend, highlighting the scarcity of major‑studio titles on July 24.
Why it matters: NEON secures a 800‑1,200‑theater launch for 'Her Private Hell' on July 24, giving the distributor a sizable summer foothold and offering audiences a fresh indie alternative between Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' and Marvel’s 'Spider‑Man: Brand New Day'.
