Nicolas Winding Refn Charts Hotel Horror "The Bringing"

"Drive" and "Only God Forgives" director Nicolas Winding Refn is in early talks to helm the horror thriller "The Bringing" says  Heat Vision.

The story is based on the macabre history of L.A.'s Cecil Hotel and a 2013 incident involving Elisa Lam, a woman who was found dead in a water tank on the hotel's roof. Security footage captures her behaving strangely in a hotel elevator, and the story follows a man investigating her death.

Brandon Murphy and Phillip Murphy wrote the script.

Matt Tolmach and Daniela Cristina Cretu are set to produce.
