Indonesian genre specialist Timo Tjahjanto has begun production on “The Shadow Strays,” a new action film project.
Tjahjanto is one half of a writing-directing pair with Kimo Stamboel that are colloquially known as the Mo Brothers and previously delivered “Headshot.” However, it was as a solo director that Tjahjanto was signed to a multi-film deal with Netflix in 2022. He delivered his first picture under that arrangement later that year. “The Big 4” debuted in Netflix’s non-English language top ten.
Production of the new title is handled by Frontier Pictures with Wicky V. Olindo and Anne P. Ralie named as producers. The completion date has not been revealed.
Tjahjanto has assembled a kicking ensemble cast, many of whom previously appeared in “The Big 4.” The cast includes Aurora Ribero, Hana Malasan (“Ben & Jody”), Ali Fikri, Adipati Dolken, Kristo Immanuel (“The Big 4”), Andri Mashadi, Taskya Namya (“Waktu Maghrib”), Agra Piliang,...

“Stealing Raden Saleh” is a refreshing twist on the typical heist genre. Directed by Angga Dwimas Sasongko, who has a successful track record with his previous film “Ben and Jody” (2021), the movie offers a new perspective on the category by placing greater emphasis on drama and character development.
“Stealing Raden Saleh” follows the story of Piko, a college student and skilled forger, who must steal a valuable painting to secure the release of his imprisoned father. Piko joins forces with a team of thieves, including a hacker, a brute, a driver, a handyman, and a negotiator, to carry out the heist at the President’s Palace. The objective is to replace the original “Arrest of Prince Diponegoro” painting by Raden Saleh with a fake one. This heist movie is full of plot twists, a staple of the genre, and keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

Without so much connection to the previous entries, “Ben and Jody” begins with Ben being on the side of his hometown produce farmers, who are protesting the cutting down of the forest, against a corrupt local kingpin. Eventually, his henchmen attack, and the violent brawl that ensues ends up with Ben captured along a number of other villages. Meanwhile, Jody realizes that his...
