Falcon Pictures is betting big on genre-bending with its latest Warkop Dki project, tapping acclaimed Thai filmmaker Banjong Pisanthanakun to write what promises to be the most unconventional entry yet in the beloved Indonesian comedy franchise.

The production house has revealed that Pisanthanakun, the creative force behind international horror hits “Shutter” and “Pee Mak,” will bring his distinctive horror-comedy sensibilities to the untitled fourth film inspired by the legendary trio of Dono, Kasino, and Indro.

Falcon Pictures is mounting a remake of the iconic Thai horror film “Shutter,” reuniting with Thai powerhouse Gdh for their second collaboration following the successful Indonesian adaptation of “Pee Mak” into “Kang Mak.”

The company has now released first-look images that offer a glimpse into the atmospheric world crafted by director Herwin Novianto, who brings a distinctly Indonesian sensibility to the remake while honoring Banjong Pisanthanakun’s landmark 2004 Thai horror original.

“We’re excited to share the first images from ‘Shutter,’ which we believe will deliver an intense, emotionally gripping, and visually compelling horror experience,” said Frederica, producer at Falcon Pictures. “This remake is not only a tribute to Banjong Pisanthanakun’s masterful work, but also an expansion of our vision to...
