Isn't the Toyko film likely to be the Valhalla Rising companion piece (prequel?).

Refn has become a parody of himself. All the pseudo intellectual bullshit he's been feeding the press is really getting weary. His PR people should warn him that he's becoming a laughing stock. I laughed at the notion that Refn explored Asian culture or has any understanding or even an inkling of what that is just because he was shooting a film in Asia for a couple of months. He didn't know shit about Thailand and he's none the wiser when he left. His whole crew stayed at a luxury serviced apartment. They travelled around in rented cars. All the Thai crews were there to take his orders. Essentially he was living in a western life comfort bubbles that so many westerners came to exploit in Asia. I see them everyday here in Bangkok. Refn didn't explore any Asian culture. He had no real interest in it. Asian city just provided an exotic locale for ignorant white guy like him. Asian faces are just caricature props to his 'idea' of what being 'Asian' is like. And for him to interpret that when people hate his movie it means he's a genius filmmaker?!? Well….delusions of grandeur or narcissism are probably the least of what he's suffering.

Hopefully Logan's Run remake and Barbarella tv series never happens. Fingers crossed for "Button Man" and "I Walk With The Dead".

The "My film made you feel something" type of statements are some of the laziest responses to criticisms I can think of. I hate it, it doesn't mean anything.
