Kimo Stamboel - Donny Damara (Netflix Indonesia)

JAKARTA - Director Kimo Stamboel will work on his latest film entitled Abadi Nan Jaya. Collaborating with Netflix, this film will be the first zombie original film in Indonesia.

Abadi Nan Jaya tells the story of a village near Yogyakarta which is the residence of a family of the herbal medicine business owner. An innovation made by the owner of the company actually triggered a zombie outbreak that hit the entire village.

The film stars Eva Celia, Mikha Tambayong, Donny Damara, Dimas Anggara, Marthino Lio, Kiki Narendra, and Varen Arianda Calief.

Netflix released a behind-the-scenes photo showing Kimo Stamboel directing Donny Damara with a different look.

"It was an extraordinary experience for me to start production of the Eternal Nan Jaya film," said Kimo Stamboel.

"This is my first time directing a zombie-themed film, and I am very proud that this film not only presents a new horror element for me, but also introduces and raises Indonesian culture to the international scene through collaboration with Netflix," said Kimo Stamboel.

Abadi Nan Jaya is still the temporary title of an Indonesian film that combines various elements of local culture, such as herbal medicine and the dynamics of family relations, with zombie elements.

The script for this film was written by Kimo, Agasyah Karim, and Khalid Kashogi by producer Edwin Nazir. This is his latest work after making Badarawuhi in Penari Village this year.

Rencananya, film Abadi Nan Jaya akan rilis di Netflix pada tahun 2025.
