TIRA: Screenplay Bumilangit’s Phase One Superhero Streaming Series Lands A First Poster
In the mood for some superhero thrills and excitement beyond borders? Fans are welcome to try their luck with Indonesian superhero property Tira who now gets her own eight-episode live-action series on Disney+ Hotstar beginning next year.
Front and center is May The Devil Take You franchise star Chelsea Islan in the title role now clear and present in the first teaser poster which you can view below, following its presentation at Indonesia Comic Con on Saturday. The show is directed by Malaysia’s Zahir Omar (Fly By Night) and centers on Suci, an aspiring stuntwoman with a fear of heights who, after rescuing children from a mysterious ritual, suddenly finds herself cursed and now fighting for her own life as well.
Celebrated auteur Joko Anwar serves as one of the key producers on the show in association with Screenplay Bumilangit as part of a cinematic universe that began with Anwar’s 2019 entry, Gundala. That effort continues forthwith in November with Upi Avianto’s Sri Asih, with Tira serving as a precursor to the upcoming feature adaptation, Godam & Tira which will also star Chicco Jerikho of Filosofi Kopi franchise fame.
