JAKARTA - Director Yandy Laurens announced his latest film, Sore: Wife of the Future. This film is a long form of a web series he made for a brand in 2017.

Almost 9 years since his web series was released, Yandy felt the series was loved by the audience. This is one of the reasons he wants to make a long film.

"We read social media, we see that webseries audiences are still increasing, but on the other hand we feel the story can be added. We were intense with developers a year ago until finally we finished filming," said Suryana Pramita as producer at a press conference Monday, November 11 in Jakarta.

From the start, making (the film) in the afternoon was not because there were a lot of fans, so it seemed good. It exists, it is undeniable but not the main factor. As a storyteller, do I have any worries. We made the film depart from worry," said Yandy Laurens as director.

When the title was announced, the production of this film had been completed in three places, namely Jakarta, Finland and Croatia. This film also brings together Dion Wiyoko and Sheila Dara Aisha as a couple after stealing attention in the film Falling Love Like in the Films (2023).

"After that, I made the webseries when I was still dating and not married. 8 years passed, I was married and had 2 children. There was a change in view and I felt it was right to develop it," explained Yandy Laurens.

"We shoot with a small team of 10 people so we help each other. Producers are not only producers as well as directors. Then there are additional local crews and a total of 12 people," said Suryana Pramita.

In the web series version, Dion Wiyoko is paired with Tika Brahani, but the film version will be played by Sheila Dara.

Tika Brahani knows we are making an Afternoon project. We focus on other projects. Choosing Sheila is because there is comfort in discussing anything and making collaborations. I feel the collaboration of directors and players want each other, "explained Yandy Laurens.

Sore: The wife of the Future tells the story of Jonathan (Dion Wiyoko), a young man who lives abroad. One day, he comes Sore (Sheila Dara) who claims to be Jonathan's wife from the future.

Film Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan direncanakan tayang pada tahun 2025 di bioskop Indonesia.
