Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar, known
internationally for stylish and gory horror, has a supernatural thriller series
on the way for Netflix. Joko Anwar’s Nightmares & Daydreams is a
supernatural thriller series that shows there isn’t necessarily a rational
explanation behind every occurrence. Unfolding over seven episodes, ‘Nightmares
and Daydreams’ presents a different story and a new set of actors in each
instalment. Viewers can anticipate discovering strange phenomena with each
episode, leading up to a big showdown in the finale.
Joko Anwar’s Nightmares and Daydreams
chronicles the journey of a group of ordinary people trying to save humanity
from those who wish to take over the world. The story is told across seven
episodes, each spotlighting a key character dealing with extraordinary events
that span from 1985 to 2024. While seemingly random, these peculiar incidents
are interconnected, offering insights into the origins of our world and the
looming threats to humanity.
This series marks the first collaboration
between Netflix and the prolific filmmaker, paving the way for a new genre in
Indonesian cinema: sci-fi supernatural. Speaking of the series, Anwar said: “This
new universe will be guided by key characters played by prominent Indonesian
actors, including Ario Bayu, Fachry Albar, Marissa Anita, and more. “This
series explores the sci-fi supernatural genre, which is new in our national
film industry. Inspired by my curiosity and fascination with alien stories, I
dug deep into the intriguing concept of aliens that might not be far from us.
The series has distinct elements to it and I cannot wait to present it to
viewers,”
Crafted in the supernatural sci-fi genre,
Joko Anwar’s Nightmares and Daydreams stands as the first of its kind in
Indonesian cinema. “While the series is rooted in the science-fiction genre,
we’ve ensured its accessibility to our local audience,” Anwar explains, noting
that each episode begins with elements familiar to Indonesian viewers.
