NWR's next feature is his long-in-the-works spy movie "The Avenging Silence."
A listing in Production Weekly confirms the production start date in Korea
The project is a blend of "James Bond" and classics likes "Le Samouraï" and "Tokyo Drifter," about a mute ex-spy brought out of retirement to kill off an exiled Yakuza boss. Bond alums Robert Wade and Neal Purvis pen the script for Refn, who last year called "The Avenging Silence" his "last grand finale" and the "endeavor of his soul."
NWR has teased fans about this project in countless ways over years: it'll be a "big extravagant action film;" a 2016 tweet paired book covers of "Dr. No" and "The Soft Machine" with the accompanying text, "Ian Fleming + William Burroughs + NWR = The Avenging Silence."
