‘Orang Ikan’ Director Mike Wiluan On Making A WWII Creature Film Set In Southeast Asia
'Orang Ikan' makes a bold foray into the creature film genre, depicting a mythological creature recorded in several Malay & Indonesian accounts.
The film stars actor-musician Dean Fujioka ( Fullmetal Alchemist) and Callum Woodhouse ( All Creatures Great and Small). Orang Ikan is directed and written by Mike Wiluan, who has helmed Buffalo Boys and Losmen Melati and co-produced Crazy Rich Asians. A big draw were the number of cliffs and caves in the area around Sukabumi, as well as hills, mountains and huge waterfalls, which provided many opportunities to shoot the “orang ikan” moving and lurking amid a rich amount of lush natural features.
