The Indonesia action/thriller Headshot, which stars Iko Uwais (The Raid: Redemption, The Raid 2), will be getting global distribution after Nikkatsu Corporation announced that they partnered with Vertacal Entertainment and XYZ Films. The three companies are coordinating to set digital and VOD release dates along with limited theatrical runs in select territories.
“‘Headshot’ follows an amnesiac (Iko Uwais) who washes ashore with a serious and mysterious head injury. His past comes back to haunt him shortly after being nursed back to health by a young doctor (Chelsea Islan).”
Is it just me or does that synopsis sound a bit like The Bourne Identity?
Headshot is currently in production in Indonesia. It is directed by the Mo Brothers (Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel) and stars Iko Uwais, Chelsea Islan, Julie Estelle, and Sunny Pang. The film is based on a script by Tjahjanto, and is produced by Mike Wiluan, Wicky Olindo, Sukdev Singh and Shinjiro Nishimura.
