Headshot sendiri berkisah tentang seorang pria terdampar di suatu tempat dan kehilangan ingatannya. Ketika sedang dalam masa penyembuhan di rumah sakit, ingatan masa lalunya berangsur-angsur menghantuinya kembali. Mengingat film ini diusung sebagai action, apalagi dengan adanya Iko sebagai pemeran utama, maka bisa diekspektasi bahwa film ini akan menampilkan adegan-adegan laga sebagai salah satu daya tarik utamanya.
Skenario Headshot ditulis oleh Timo, dan diproduksi oleh Screenplay Infinite Films, sebuah rumah produksi baru bentukan Screenplay Productions dan Infinite Studios. Mike Wiluan dari Infinite dan Wicky V. Olindo dari Screenplay menjabat sebagai produser film yang ditargetkan tayang tahun 2016 ini.
Film ini sekaligus menandai kali pertama Iko dan Chelsea bekerja sama dengan Mo Brothers. Sementara, aktris Julie Estelle sebelumnya pernah membintangi film panjang perdana Mo Brothers, Rumah Dara. Selain mereka, Headshot juga menggandeng Zack Lee, Very Tri Yulisman, dan aktor Singapura Sunny Pang untuk bergabung.
Spoiler for Twitch Film:
Production is now under way on Indonesian action film Headshot - a film that will reunite The Raid star Iko Uwais with The Raid 2's Hammer Girl, Julie Estelle, among others - and though things are still quite early in the process co-director Timo Tjahjanto of The Mo Brothers (Killers, Macabre) has taken to Instragram to share the first shot of his star.
Uwais plays a young man who washes ashore, an amnesiac with a serious head injury whose past comes back to haunt him shortly after being nursed back to health by a young doctor, the nursing back to health being the subject of these shots.
Deadline is reporting that the Mo Brothers' action thriller Headshot has been picked up for distribution by Nikkatsu, Vertical Entertainment and XYZ Films. The three companies are partnering on a day and date release of the Indonesian film. They will release the film on VOD and digital platforms, with some select territories getting theatrical releases as well.
Still in production in Indonesia, Headshot focuses on an amnesiac (Iko Uwais) who, Bourne Identity-style, washes ashore with a serious and mysterious head injury. Shortly after being nursed back to health by a young doctor (Chelsea Islan), his past comes back to haunt him. Along with Uwais and Islan, it stars Julie Estelle, and Sunny Pang.
Julie Estelle as you may remember is Hammer Girl from The Raid 2. The Mo Brothers (Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel) are directing a script by Timo.
Nikkatsu is handling international sales and distribution is Japan and the rest of Asia, save for Indonesia. They also helped finance the flick. Vertical and XYZ will work here in North America. This marks XYZ's first foray into distribution. Production is expected to wrap up in December.
(You know that thing where we post news about XYZ Films then remind everyone that TwitchFilm founder Todd Brown is a partner there but he had no influence on the writing of this article? Yeah? This is one of those times again.)
