I Walk With The Dead (IWWTD) is a duplicate project and needs to be cashed out...
Nicolas Winding Refn wrote I Walk With The Dead, but during pre-production he rewrote the project and it became The Neon Demon which got its own HSX stock.
The Neon Demon grew organically out of a previously announced project, a horror film called I Walk With The Dead that was intended to reunite the director with his Drive star Carey Mulligan. But, in true fetish filmmaker fashion, Refn’s attentions began to drift in pre-production and soon, he switched gears and began fixating on making a darker, more abstract sort of shocker.
“(The Neon Demon) kind of jumped out of that project and became something else,” says the director.
“I switched interests, which usually happens with me. I wanted to make something different, so I took all of my original ideas that I liked from the first film concept [I Walk With The Dead] and continued evolving it and adding to it. It became The Neon Demon, naturally.”
Over the summer, we learned that the next film from Only God Forgives and Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn would be I Walk with the Dead, the long-gestating horror film that once had Carey Mulligan attached to star. It sounds like that project is still the director's next film, but Variety has word that it will now be called The Neon Demon. The project will be available to buyers at the American Film Market coming up, and the description of the film [The Neon Demon] matches what we'd previously heard about the project [I Walk With The Dead], though the cast wasn't announced and the female star is "soon-to-be-announced," so it may not be Mulligan.

Nicolas Winding Refn has officially announced the female-led horror movie he’s been developing for over a year, and the film has a new title. What was once referred to as I Walk With the Dead is now The Neon Demon. The film will be at the American Film Market, which begins shortly in Los Angeles, and should shoot early in 2015.
Gaumont and Wild Bunch announced the project in a press release (via Variety). The film is written by Refn and Mary Laws, according to the sales info. And that’s interesting, as we’d previously heard that playwright Polly Stenham was scripting with Refn. Regardless, this appears to be the same project, as this is “a horror tale with a young female-driven cast” that will shoot in Los Angeles.
