Action Star Iko Uwais Launches Uwais Pictures, Two Movies To Be On Sale At EFM Including Directorial Debut

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: International action star Iko Uwais, known for The Raid, Expendables and Skyline franchises, is officially launching his production label Uwais Pictures with two new films on sale at next month’s EFM in Berlin.

The action-focused production company he runs with his team of collaborators is expanding its remit to the global market. The aim is to replicate the success of modestly budgeted, local-language hits such as The Raid, The Raid: Redemption, and The Night Comes for Us.

First up on the slate are two completed action films: Timur, which is inspired by the 1996 Mapenduma hostage crisis, and Ikatan Darah.

Both will be screened at the EFM by Uwais Pictures in collaboration with Gersh. Indonesia-based action outfit Uwais Pictures specialises in incorporating fight choreography, action design, and stunt performance from the inception of its projects.
