PENDEKAR: WARRIOR Touts First Look At Iko Uwais As Cameras Roll In Malaysia
Cameras are already rolling as of earlier this month for Pendekar (Warrior) as its being titled per the trades. Iko Uwais (The Night Comes For Us) is leading the film opposite Tak Sakaguchi (Re:Born) for director and cinematographer John Radel’s helm debut.
Abah Jaya (Uwais), once Jakarta’s most feared Silat (Indonesian traditional martial arts) master, who walks free from prison determined to live a life of peace. His past, however, comes crashing back when a powerful Malaysian crime syndicate targets him, forcing Abah into a relentless fight to protect his orphaned nephew — and unleashing a storm of fists, blades, and vengeance in the battle of his life.
The cast also lists Ali Fikry, Alicia Amin, and Aisha Nurra Datau. Alex Praditya of Asia Media Alliance, Delon Tio of Nation Pictures, Erika North and Nick North of Yeti Entertainment, and Bumsu Lee of K-Movie Entertainment are producing alongside Mike Leeder of Red Packet Media. Uwais is exec producer for Uwais Pictures with Ryan Santoso.
