Well Go USA is ramping up its acquisitions this season with a raft of titles.
The latest in the pile as of Thursday will be Indonesian superhero actioner, Gundala, the brainchild of Harya “Hasmi” Suraminata’s 1969 comic character, the film is directed by Joko Anwar (Satan’s Slaves) for Screenplay Films, and centers on Sancaka (Abhimanyu Arysatya – The Night Comes For Us, 3: Alif – Lam – Mim), an orphan raised to adulthood surviving the tough streets of Jakarta.
