Indonesian genre specialist Timo Tjahjanto has begun production on “The Shadow Strays,” a new action film project.
Tjahjanto is one half of a writing-directing pair with Kimo Stamboel that are colloquially known as the Mo Brothers and previously delivered “Headshot.” However, it was as a solo director that Tjahjanto was signed to a multi-film deal with Netflix in 2022.
