Production of Four Superhero Films in Walaraba Bumilangit Cinematic Universe Delayed Due to Corona Virus

Kapanlagi.com - In 2020, Bumilangit Cinematic Universe was supposed to produce four superhero films. The titles include SRI ASIH, VIRGO AND THE SPARKLINGS, SI BUTA DARI GUA HANTU and GODAM & TIRA.

However, due to the corona virus pandemic or COVID-19 which has affected the whole world including Indonesia, the film production process has been delayed. This is in line with the government's appeal to stay at home and avoid crowds in order to break the chain of virus transmission.

"In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we support the government's efforts to break the chain of the virus through social restrictions and public gatherings. Therefore, we have decided that the delay is a wise and best step for everyone's safety," said the statement from Poplicist Publicist, the communication team of Bumilangit Cinematic Universe, to KapanLagi.com, on Saturday (11/4).

Timo Tjahjanto, who directed Si Buta Dari Gua Hantu, said that he doesn't know when the production process can resume. Because no one can predict when this virus will go away.

"Honestly, with the COVID-19 situation, I don't know when we will start moving with this one (film). This is an extraordinary project that is very personal to me, with a cast lineup that has made me excited about the scenes that haven't been shot yet," Timo wrote in his Instagram post on March 26.

2. Release Schedule Changes

This year, Screenplay Films and Bumilangit Studios were supposed to start production in the first quarter of 2020 with Sri Asih starring Pevita Pearce. Followed by Virgo and the Sparklings featuring Adhisty Zara as the main character.

Then in the second quarter, there is Si Buta Dari Gua Hantu with undisclosed cast members, and Godam & Tira starring Chicco Jerikho and Chelsea Islan. Considering the uncontrollable outbreak, the delay in production may affect the release schedule. Let's pray that this pandemic passes quickly so that we can see the action of our local heroes on the big screen!
