Magma Entertainment and Bumilangit Entertainment have unveiled “Si Buta dari Gua Hantu: Mata Malaikat” (The Blind Warrior From the Phantom Cave: Angel Eyes), a new feature adaptation of the legendary Indonesian martial arts comic hero who remains the country’s most adapted character, with nine films and 86 TV episodes to date.
The project was revealed at the JAFF Market, with Charles Gozali set to direct and production slated to begin in 2026 ahead of a planned 2027 release.
Hit action-horror movies “Qodrat” (2022) and “Qodrat 2” (2025) were directed by Gozali and produced by Magma Entertainment, with “Qodrat 3” in the works.
“Having [the IP acquired] was like a dream come true for us. We’ve tried to pitch for a different comic adaptation 12 years ago, so this is very special,” Gozali told Variety. The period comic book adaptation brings in a new chapter for Magma Entertainment. “Staying true to the books, the adaptation is trying to keep the original story’s breath. There is no local comic series that’s as well known as ‘Si Buta dari Gua Hantu.’ We’re very humbled to be collaborating with Bumilangit,” he added.
“This film production is an honor for us to be able to adapt such a legendary character IP for Indonesia into a feature film and is looking forward to producing a film that will excite the Indonesian cinema audience and inspire national pride,” added Bismarka Kurniawan, founder and CEO of Bumilangit.
“I began this journey as a director, action director, and even a stuntman on TV series before stepping into feature films and introducing the trend of horror-action with ‘Qodrat,’” Gozali, who serves as CEO of Magma Entertainment, said. “Today, Magma Entertainment and I are very proud to stand here side by side with Bumilangit to resurrect one of the biggest and most iconic IPs Indonesia has to offer. To us, this is not just a film, this is part of our dream to preserve, celebrate, and introduce our legacy of stories to generations to come.”
