Netflix Unveils Indonesian Originals Including Ernest Prakasa’s ‘The Actor’ & Zombie Film ‘The Elixir’
Netflix Indonesia is launching Ernest Prakasa's 'The Actor' (Lupa Daratan) this year, along with zombie film 'The Elixir' from Kimo Stamboel.
Previously announced with the working title of Abadi Nan Jaya, the film tells the story of a potion that ends up triggering a zombie outbreak due to the ambition of a herbal medicine company’s owner. Indonesia is a top-priority market for Netflix in the Southeast Asian region, although the domestic content head role is still vacant after veteran Rusli Eddy stepped down in October last year. Other titles from Netflix’s Indonesia slate which have already been announced include rom-com The Most Beautiful Girl in the World(starring Reza Rahadian and Sheila Dara Aisha), Promised Hearts( Setetes Embun Cinta Niyala) and director Lucky Kuswandi’s psychological drama film A Normal Woman.
