You’ll be hearing a little bit from 20th Century Fox this month, so keep them in mind for a few updates in cinema, the first of which brings us to their local-language film production shingle Fox International Productions. Reports are now circulating that the company is currently partnering with Lifelike Pictures to develop its first feature film in Indonesia titled 212 Warrior, inspired by the 185-part series of martial arts novels from author Bastian Tito.
“Combining our understanding of the Indonesian market and audience preferences with FIP’s expertise, ‘212 Warrior’ will satisfy the demand of Indonesian audiences for a good quality film. (FIP President) Tomas Jegeus, Michael Werner and I agreed to make the ‘212 Warrior’ as a great commercial movie. We look forward to expand the collaboration to the series,” Timothy said in a prepared statement.
Actress Sherina Munaf will also star as will Bastian’s wife and cast member, actress Marsha Timothy, with action sequences by Yayan Ruhian and a script by Sheila Timothy and scribes Tumpal Tampubolon and Seno Gumira Ajidarma. Ruhian and Timothy last appeared in the respective roles of restrained couple, Prakoso and Dwi, in Gareth Evans’s The Raid 2.
