Neon Demon without the Refn or the cannibalism? Right away I suspected that Mads Matthiesen‘s The Model (Brainstorm Media, 8.12 theatrically — 9.6 iTiunes/VOD) would be more palatable, more grounded, my kind of thing. Set within the Paris fashion realm, and apparently some kind of bad-boyfriend tale. Maria Palm is the new Elle Fanning; Deadpool‘s Ed Skrein plays the shithead. Incidentally: Looking-to-make-it actors used to adopt screen names if their given name was tongue-twisty or creepy sounding. If your last name was Skrein, wouldn’t you do something about it?
