Portraying Terrorists in the Film '13 BOM DI JAKARTA', Rio Dewanto Uses Subcomandante Marcos as a Reference

Kapanlagi.com - Actor Rio Dewanto returns to play a role in a film titled 13 BOM DI JAKARTA. In this film, which is touted as the biggest action film in Indonesia, Rio plays the antagonist, a terrorist.

Because he was confused and there was no way to delve into the character, Atiqah Hasiholan's husband finally used Subcomandante Marcos as a reference. It is known that Subcomandante Marcos is the leader of a left-wing movement in Mexico who opposes the government due to corruption.

"The character Arok is partly inspired by Subcomandante Marcos, who is the leader of Zapatista in Mexico," said Rio when met at XXI Plaza Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (26/10/2023).

1. Learn about Subcomandante Marcos

From articles about Subcomandante Marcos, Rio can delve into and learn about the character of Arok that he played.

"There are several articles that I tried to read about terrorism, digital currency, and action," said Rio.

Therefore, from the teaser trailer that was shared, Rio Dewanto's appearance as Arok looks slightly similar to Subcomandante Marcos. Rio wears a black face cover while threatening to detonate 13 bombs in Jakarta.

2. Many Action Scenes

Director Angga Dwimas Sasongko emphasizes that in his latest film project, there are many explosions, action, gunfights, and car chases that will be very exciting to watch on the cinema screen.

"Visinema always strives to be a game changer in the film industry and brings something new to Indonesian audiences in every production we do. This film has a unique angle, film-making techniques that have never been done before in Indonesia, which definitely offers something different for the audience," Angga said firmly.

In the film that will be released in theaters in the country on December 28, 2023, it is also starred by several talented actors such as Chicco Kurniawan, Lutesha, Ardhito Pramono, Putri Ayudya, and Ganindra Bimo. In addition, it is also enlivened by Niken Anjani, Rukman Rosadi, Andri Mashadi, Muhammad Khan, and Aksara Dena.
