Kapanlagi.com - MD Pictures will begin the shooting process of the film titled LAURA directed by Hanung Bramantyo. This drama is adapted from the story of Edelenyi Laura Anna as written in the book titled MANTRA.
The role of Laura Anna is played by actress Amanda Rawles. Producer Manoj Punjabi revealed that the selection of Amanda went through a long and thorough process.
"The film LAURA is ready for shooting. This film is based on a true story, we all know what Laura is like, so we chose the appropriate actress and I think Amanda Rawles is the right choice for Laura," said Manoj at MD Place, Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, on Monday (15/1).
1. Samarkan Nama Tokoh
In the creative process of writing the script, Manoj Punjabi decided to disguise the names of characters other than Laura Anna and her family. This is because the film itself will focus more on the life of the deceased.
"Our strategy is to focus on Laura, while the names of other characters are disguised. The reason for disguising the names is because this is Laura's version, Laura's point of view. If there are other names, we have to confirm with each character. It's not possible that it won't become a film later on," continued Manoj Punjabi.
2. Kebebasan Bercerita
According to Manoj Punjabi, disguising the names of characters around Laura and her family is a form of freedom of expression. "So we want to have the freedom of story telling. That's very important so that the dos and don'ts can be easily adjusted," said Manoj.
LAURA will begin the shooting process on January 20, 2024. If everything goes smoothly, the film will be released simultaneously in Indonesian cinemas in the same year.
