Take it with a grain of salt. He usually takes his time deciding on projects.

Now that you’ve wrapped on your movie, are you reading scripts? Are you writing? What are you working on in terms of future stuff? NICOLAS WINDING REFN: Well, I would love to do a movie in Tokyo. Okay. I would love to see this. REFN: I think you will. Will that be your next thing? REFN: I think it probably will be. But I haven’t decided yet. There are some other things I’m working on. I like to prep many things and then I’ll decide what it is. Lost in Translation is one of my favorite films. I love the city of Tokyo and watching it on screen, and I would love to see your look. Can I ask the genre you are exploring for that. REFN: Well I would love to do like a spy movie something like that. Is it something you’re writing? REFN: [nods] This is very exciting. Does it have a title? REFN: It’s called “The Avenging Silence”. Is it something you’ve been working on for a while? REFN: Yeah, it’s basically a character that appears in my other movies that will now appear again. Having done The Neon Demon, which was predominantly women protagonists, but the character that Mads [Mikkelsen] plays in Valhalla Rising, Ryan [Gosling] plays him in Drive or Vithaya [Pansringarm] in Only God Forgives, I want to make a new movie with that character.
