New Details for Berandal
People have been dying for new information regarding Berandal, and the details are finally trickling in. Gareth Evans has started to release details, and everything sounds awesome.
First off Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian will be returning in the film. I have no idea how Mad Dog is coming back unless he has a twin, but I could honestly care less. The cast also includes a huge number of people, including Tio Pakusadewo, Oka Antara, Alex Abbad, Arifin Putra, Julie Estelle, Marsha Timothy, Epi Kusnandar, Zack Lee, Roy Marten, Mathias Muchus, Feri Tri Yulisman, Cecep Arif Rahman. and three unnamed Japanese fighters.
“There’s going to be two or three big villains in this one,” Evans has stated. It has also been noted that the last 40 to 45 minutes will be dedicated to straight action. If you are curious about the hammer girl, here are the details about her and her fighting style.
“What we are doing with [Julie’s] character is actually another form of harimau silat. Basically, in this style, you hit with a flat palm while the fingers are poised, then you can strike, grab, pull and drag. So we decided to transform it to weapon-based. Her character has two hammers, she will hit with the hard part, stab you with the claw and pull you back, so technically it’s harimau but a weapon version of it,”
What about the story, you ask? Well,you can expect a lot more of that as well.
‘We start shooting on January 19th and the first scene takes place two hours after the first film ends. It’s a much longer story. The period of time will go on for about three or four years. It’s a much bigger story with much more drama in it,”
I have no idea how they are going to continue the story 2 short hours after the events of the Raid, but I’m interested in it. Course, I’d be excited even if it was just them fighting for another hour and a half. Most of you know that this concept came up first, but here is the initial footage if you haven’t seen it yet:
Berandal starts filming on January 19th, and I’ll be sure to keep you posted as soon as I learn anything new.

Awesome Video from the Raid Cast at Actionfest
Actionfest has come to a close for the year, and Twitch has this awesome video that Gareth Evans made for the event. The Merantau team has been very active in their involvement with Actionfest, even showing special scenes from the film last year.
This proves that Yayan Ruhian (aka Mad Dog) is a beast and that Iko shouldn’t be messed with either. He, he just laughs as Iko kicks him. How can that be funny!?
Hopefully I’ll be able to go to the event next year, as it would be a cool experience. It’s pretty much the only even that takes place on this side of the coast, so I’ll have to plan a little earlier next year.
Also, if you haven’t seen the Raid yet, you need to get on that as well.
