The sencond installment of Laskar Pelangi, Sang Pemimpi has been released to the cinema recently. And now people are wondering, when they are going to make the third one?
Lukman Sardi, the main role of Sang Pemimpi, said to Antara News that Edensor will not be filmed until 2012. Edensor itself will tell how Ikal (Lukman Sardi) and Arai (Nazril Ilham or Ariel Peterpan) will live their dream. The filming will take place in some different countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia.

If you have read the novel by Andrea Hirata, you must know what happen. I'm not going to spoil anything here ;)

2 Billion Rupiah for Merah Putih 2

noreply@blogger.com (IE World) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 09:46:00 +0000

Yay! We're going to have another great war movie near the independence day :D
The sequel of Merah Putih: Darah Garuda or Blood of Garuda is set to be release on this August but there is no exact date yet. The first movie was a big success and of course they spent a lot of money for all of those explosives, talents, weapons, etc. The director, Yadi Sugandi said to Antara News that it will cost them 10 Billion Rupiah (approximately a million dollar) to make its second installment.

"The shooting took 28 consecutive days and production 35 days," he said.
He also said that actually the shooting of Merah Putih 2 has partly already been done in the shooting of Merah Putih 1 last year.

He added that the Rp10 billion had been spent on building a kind of Dutch airport which would be blown up. The money was also used for building an airplane replica, purchase of explosives and fees of the players and crew. He also said he did not think of a profit or return of what had been spent.

"The producers merely wish the film success in conveying the moral message on the struggle of the freedom fighters," he said.

It means more Darius Sinathrya and Zumi Zola, SUPER YAYNESS xD

Macabre Film Review

noreply@blogger.com (IE World) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:29:00 +0000

Oh, beside the review I also got you September issue of Pi Fan Korea magazine scans. Shareefa Danish became the cover and Julie Estell also featured inside.. I used to hate Shareefa along time ago (dunno why) but now I'm a fan of her! She is the best actress to portray Dara. Look at that photo, don't you think she looks like a serial murderer?

And here we goes with the review from The Hollywood Reporter :)

"Macabre."
Bottom Line: A horror film that rejoices in cheeky excess.

BUCHEON, South Korea -- "Macabre" is a splatter film that spills buckets of blood as it doles out ladles of tongue-in-cheek, genre-savvy fun. A slasher formula -- where innocents gets lured into an isolated mansion inhabited by weirdos guarding a dark, murderous secret -- is given an injection of physical stamina and Asian exoticism by Indonesian directing duo Timo Tjajanto and Kimo Stamboel, known as the Mo Brothers.

"Macabre" is the brainchild of Gorylah, a freshly minted genre label founded by Singaporean auteur Eric Khoo and Mike Wiluan of Infinite Frameworks. Its marketability is illustrated by its sale to France's Overlook Entertainment and influential Thai company Five Star, its first acquisition of a foreign film. Certainly, in its pace and visual style, the brothers have the tone right to stimulate western palates so sales may well continue.

Jakarta urbanites Ajie (Ario Bayu), his pregnant wife Astrid (Sigi Wimala), Ajie's sister Ladya (Julie Estelle) and their three friends are driving to the airport on the eve of the couple's emigration to Australia. Their car is halted mid-road by sexily rain-drenched Maya (Imelda Terrine), who claims to be robbed, and begs for a ride home.

When they reach Maya's stately mansion, she invites them in to meet the family, a thoroughly creepy bunch who could be offshoots of the Addams Family. The prim matriarch Dara (Shareefa Daanish) looks no older than Maya, but dresses like the lady in Grant Wood's "American Gothic." Maya's brothers are drop-dead gorgeous Adam (Arifin Putra), who has Igor's body language, while pudgy Alam (Mike Muliadro) reacts like a bulldog on Viagra. The guests sit down for a juicy meat feast, unaware that they are the real game being hunted.

Unlike most mainstream Bahasa/Malay horror, "Macabre" seldom lapses into cheesy drama, lame comic relief or cry-wolf false shocks. The action stays resolutely on course, revealing the family's mysterious heritage and evil motives at the halfway point via sepia movie footage that is the film's most eerily effective touch.

The bloodbaths are a manic mixture of live-action fighting and unreal special effects, designed with a gleeful excess that makes one giggle rather than shiver. Half the casualties aren't even caused by the villains' blades or chainsaws, but rather characters slipping on the red stuff or tripping over wall-to-wall skeletons and corpses.

Daanish won the Best Actress Award at Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival for her role. She chills with a stuffy, old world courtesy and a frosty, impenetrable composure. Without her, "Macabre" may just be forgettable fun, but her spellbinding presence pulls all eyes to her like a magnet.

Every rupee from the modest budget has gone a long way with production design and technical excellence. The Indonesian colonial mansion exudes period ambiance. Interiors exhibiting collections of moose heads, ancient weaponry or preserved jars conveys the feel of a Victorian anthropology museum, enhancing story's time warp element. The color scheme is consistent and sharp with crimson governing both costumes and sets.

Ahh.. Can't wait to see it! :)
