I heard Iko Uwais was in the new Star Wars. Haven’t seen it, not really interested. But I am keeping my eye on an upcoming collaboration he’s been filming with the Indonesian writer-director duo known as The Mo Brothers. Their crazy as fuck debut Macabre (aka Ruma Dara) was pretty cool, and their follow up film Killers wasn’t bad.
In Headshot Uwais plays a guy who washes up on a beach with a head injury and memory loss. But as his memory gradually returns, violence ensues. Sounds good to me. Hopefully this will make up for the dissapointing news some time ago that The Mo Brothers’ planned film The Night Comes For Us had fallen through and was going to be released as a graphic novel instead. That film was supposed to star Joe Taslim (The Raid’s Sergeant Jaka) and it sure would be nice to see him kicking some ass on screen again.
