JAKARTA - The film Mumun produced by Dee Company, which is an adaptation of the 2000s hit soap opera entitled Jadi Pocong by Mandra, is ready to invite people to reminisce in cinemas starting today, September 1.
Mumun stars Acha Septriasa, Dimas Aditya, Volland Humonggio, Bedu, Ence Bagus, and Fajar Nugra. In addition, Mandra and Eddies Adelia who are soap opera players "So Pocong" also star in the film so that it will complement the nostalgia of the audience.
Mumun tells the story of a couple, namely Mumun (Acha Septriasa) and Juned (Dimas Aditya). Unfortunately, their love story had to end because Mumun died when he was hit by a truck.
On the day of the funeral, Husein (Mandra) the gravedigger forgot to open the Mumun pocong bond. Pocong Mumun also rumored that terror was spreading to haunt the villagers and look for Jefri (Volland Humonggio) for revenge.
"On the first day we will air on 300 screens," said producer of the film Mumun Dheeraj Kalwani at Epicentrum, Thursday, August 25.
Dheeraj memastikan bahwa cilik pocong Mumun dengan mata hijaunya hingga lagu pembukanya di versi sinetron tidak akan hilang dalam versi film sehingga dapat membawa penonton bersalgia bersama. Selain itu, penonton baru juga dipastikan masih bisa mengikuti ceritanya meski tidak pernah menonton versi sinetronnya.
Meanwhile, director Rizal Mantovani said when he learned that the Mumun film was an adaptation of the soap opera that was hit in its time, he admitted that he was a bit depressed.
"It made me depressed because of how to make something good and at least can be nostalgia. Luckily I got a good story, a good cast, good performance, finally the obstacles that were there to adapt this film to not feel as heavy as it should be," said Rizal.
He also said that he had prepared surprising scenes to make the Mumun pocong terror feel more tense.
"Of course the treatment of soap operas and the big screen is different. Without reducing the character of the typical Mumun pocong with its green eyes, I make the scenes of terror feel more tense," he said.
