NEON is hitting the ground running at the Cannes International Film Festival, as they often do, and while the rest of us who aren't in France are going to have to wait a hot minute to see some of these films, at least the studio is giving us something. We got the first trailer for Hope, which made a big splash at CinemaCon and appears to be making an even bigger one at Cannes. Now we have the first teaser trailer and images for Her Pr4ivate Hell, the first new film from director Nicolas Winding Refn, his first theatrical release in 10 years since The Neon DemonHer Private Hell stars Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton, two young actors who have put in some insane performances.

Other movies of Refn's you might be familiar with areare Drive and Only God Forgives, two movies you should absolutely check out if you're looking for more excellent Ryan Gosling performances to sink your teeth into. Her Private Hell isn't a film that NEON picked up from somewhere else to distribute, but something they actively financed. We only learned about it a year ago, back in April 2,025 when it was first announced, with filming beginning in early May 2025 and wrapping in late July 2025. The combination of Refn, Thatcher and Melton plus the buckwild premise is enough that you should add Her Private Hell to your list for this July even if the month is already packed with lots of blockbusters.
