Maxime Bouttier and Mawar de Jongh Star in the Series '10 PM', a Webtoon Adaptation!

Kapanlagi.com - The streaming platform Prime Video brings back original Indonesian content through the horror series 10 PM, which has been airing since November 5, 2024. The series showcases the chemistry between Maxime Bouttier, Mawar de Jongh, and Giorgino Abraham and is an adaptation of the popular webtoon by talented comic artist Arvidan.

Behind the promising production, the script for 10 PM is written by renowned screenwriter Alim Sudio, who has previously proven his skill through the success of the Indonesian version of the film MIRACLE IN CELL NO. 7. This creative collaboration is further strengthened by the presence of Indra Gunawan, who is trusted to take on the director's role.

The presence of this series also marks a solid partnership between Prime Video and Falcon Black to deliver quality content, while also strengthening the Indonesian entertainment industry and opening opportunities for local works to be recognized internationally. So, what is the reason for choosing to adapt 10 PM as a series rather than a film? Let's check out the explanation below.

The decision to present 10 PM in a serial format was not made without careful consideration. Falcon Black's producer, Frederica, revealed that the breadth of the story material was a key factor in determining the format of the show. According to her, if forced into a film format, the required duration would be very long, reaching up to three hours.

"Seeing that the story content we have is so rich and deep. If we force it into a feature film, then the duration of 10 PM would be too long at around 3 hours," explained Frederica during a conversation with the media in South Jakarta on Monday (4/11/2024).

2. Fifth Horror Film of Mawar

The serial 10 PM marks the fifth horror project starring Mawar de Jongh throughout her career in the Indonesian entertainment industry. Despite having faced this chilling genre multiple times, the Jakarta-born actress revealed that her role as Viska in 10 PM presents quite a complex challenge.

"This character has a variety of challenging personalities. On one hand, Viska has the courage to face a dark and mysterious world, but on the other hand, she also has a vulnerable side to her supernatural abilities. However, being part of this role is still enjoyable," said Mawar.

3. Between Challenges and Hopes

Giorgino Abraham and Maxime Bouttier also expressed their enthusiasm for their roles in this series. Giorgino Abraham shared his excitement and feels confident that this series directed by Indra Gunawan will receive a positive response from the audience.

Meanwhile, Maxime Bouttier, who plays Chandra in 10 PM, considers his role this time as a new challenge that is very different from the characters he has portrayed before. He mentioned that the story involving technology and supernatural elements requires him to work extra hard to bring the character of Chandra, who is full of dilemmas, to life.

"This is a very different project for me, especially in terms of the story that combines technology and the supernatural world. The character of Chandra here feels very alive, as he is loving, yet also confused in facing very unusual circumstances," said Maxime.
