Folks waiting with baited breath to learn just what director Timo Tjahjanto is working on since tearing it up on the screen with a slew off horrific action and suspense thriller in the last several years can now take a gander at the first unit still from his current production, The Big 4. The film is one of several projects revealed on Friday at Waktu Netflix Indonesia (Time for Netflix Indonesia), which includes a variety of action, sci-fi, comedy and drama within what’s been described as “its most ambitious slate yet.”
A by-the-book detective investigates the death of her father and follows a clue to a remote tropical island, only to find out his true identity as a leader of a group of assassins. Now hunted by his enemies, she has to team up with the crooks her father had trained – four retired, down on their luck assassins itching to get back in the game.
The Big 4 was first announced last September as part of a multi-project deal with the streamer. The film now reveals a cast that includes a few reunions for Tjahjanto including Abimana Aryasatya who played a supporting role in The Night Comes For Us, and actress Lutesha who appears in the second installment of the May The Devil Take You horror saga.
The film also stars Putri Marino, Arie Kriting, Lutesha, Kristo Immanuel, Marthino Lio, Michelle Tahalea, Budi Ros and Donny Damara, with a script by Tjahjanto and co-scribe Johanna Wattimena.
“To be able to share my story to the world, made possible by Netflix, is exciting. I cannot wait for people to see the movie.”
