Visinema Plans ‘Jumbo’ Sequel, ‘Queen of Malacca’ Franchise

Indonesian filmmaker Angga Dwimas Sasongko, founder of Visinema, has announced plans for a sequel to the film 'Jumbo' and the development of a franchise based on 'Queen of Malacca.' The Southeast Asian fantasy epic 'Queen of Malacca' is currently in post-production, with an anticipated release in the first quarter of 2027. The project has garnered significant industry attention, including interest from potential distribution partners in China and Thailand.

Visinema is actively seeking international distribution for 'Queen of Malacca,' aiming to expand its reach beyond Southeast Asia. The studio's strategic expansion also includes the development of a 'Jumbo' sequel, though specific details regarding its production timeline or plot have not yet been disclosed. These initiatives underscore Visinema's ambition to grow its footprint in the global film market.

The studio's focus on franchise development and international co-productions signals a broader trend within the Indonesian film industry towards creating content with global appeal. Sasongko's vision for 'Queen of Malacca' as a multi-part saga highlights the potential for original intellectual property to drive sustained audience engagement and commercial success.
