00:04:35Hello, happy Sunday, viewers. We present a variety of
00:04:38newstainment information from both domestic
00:04:42and international sources. There's music, films and also a lifestyle
00:04:45for sure. For the next 1 hour, with me Jason
00:04:49Sambuk. But before we watch various interesting information
00:04:52in this showbiz, let's watch the weekly highlight below.
00:04:55Rose Blackpink officially released
00:05:06her latest single titled "New Trick"
00:05:09on September 18.
00:05:53The film has officially become the highest-grossing film in
00:05:57Universal Pictures history.
00:06:12Globally since mid-July, it has successfully garnered
00:06:16global revenue of up to 29.7
00:06:19trillion. This fantastic figure
00:06:22also surpassed the record of the film The Dark Knight Rises
00:06:26in 2012 which previously held the title
00:06:30as the highest-grossing film throughout Nolan's
00:06:33career.
00:06:53Why are theirs cooler? The sci-fi drama film "Akal Imitasi" highlights the dark side
00:06:56of applying artificial intelligence in the world
00:06:59of education. It tells the story of an AI-based
00:07:02learning system called Pico, which actually
00:07:07students. Wow,
00:07:11you're a disguised professor, aren't you? Starring
00:07:15Tica Bravani and Zaskia Aliakila,
00:07:18this film invites viewers to question the true meaning
00:07:21of learning, as well as reflecting on the important role
00:07:25of teachers, family, and character education in the digital
00:07:29era.
00:07:35"Akal Imitasi" is ready to greet audiences in cinemas starting
00:07:39September 17.
00:07:56actor Andrew Garfield who is once again stealing public attention, of course
00:07:59through his latest film project
00:08:03But what's interesting? What's interesting is that while delving into the role of
00:08:06OpenAI CEO Sam Altman,
00:08:09Andrew Garfield actually made the decision to completely
00:08:13stop using artificial intelligence applications or
00:08:17ChatGPT. So what do you think is the reason the
00:08:21actor is reluctant to utilize AI
00:08:24technology after delving into the life of an important
00:08:27figure behind the industry? Let's take a look
00:08:30at the following review.
00:08:49Oscar-nominated actor Andrew Garfield is entrusted
00:08:52with portraying Sam Altman, CEO
00:08:55of tech giant OpenAI in the latest biopic film
00:08:59titled
00:08:59"Artificial."
00:09:04The film revolves around the dismissal and re-appointment of Sam
00:09:08Altman at OpenAI in late 2023.
00:09:11The exploration of the role apparently
00:09:14made Garfield increasingly aware of the dangers
00:09:17of rapid AI development to the future of jobs
00:09:20and the economy of society. Appearing as
00:09:34a guest star on the Jimmy
00:09:37show, Garfield admitted to having deleted and completely
00:09:40stopped using
00:09:43whatever you want to say, it's the same thing that happened to me when I did the social network,
00:09:47which was I got it off Facebook immediately, I
00:09:50got, yeah, I got off, I got off my Chat GPT immediately. I don't
00:09:54I don't really know even how to explain why.
00:09:57But just the, the more you know and the more
00:10:00you you realize we're
00:10:03careening into some very unknown territory.
00:10:07Garfield's profound transformation into a key figure in the modern
00:10:10technology industry has also become one of
00:10:14the most anticipated acting performances
00:10:17this year.
00:10:27Well, viewers, if you're in the country and want to watch a horror film that's
00:10:31different from most horror films, there's the film
00:10:34"Bisikan Desa Gringsing" which could be a choice or recommendation for you. So
00:10:38instead of just relying on jump scares, this film
00:10:42offers a mystery-filled puzzle that will surely test our curiosity
00:10:44as viewers and
00:10:48stir our psychology. Now, interestingly, the film "Bisikan Desa
00:10:51Gringsing" is a collaborative production between
00:10:55Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, and uses
00:10:58virtual production technology in its
00:11:02making. So, what do you think are the excitements and
00:11:05experiences behind the production process of this film? Follow my
00:11:08conversation with the main cast and also the director of this
00:11:12film here.
00:11:34to your mind when you hear whispers, especially
00:11:38if the whispers are mystical, right? You'll probably get
00:11:41goosebumps, you'll be scared, right? Why are we suddenly talking about
00:11:45whispers? Because on September 24th,
00:11:48mark it down, there will be a horror film
00:11:51recommended for you and your family, titled "Bisikan Desa
00:11:55Gringsing." So, this is the latest Indonesian horror film that
00:11:58presents tension, of course, but behind that, there are also
00:12:02stories, values that we can explore and later apply
00:12:05with our family or closest people.
00:12:09So, what kind of inspiration is actually going to be shared? Is this
00:12:12just going to be jump scares, just jump scares, or
00:12:16is there a deeper value that we can get
00:12:19from this film? Now I'm with the cast and also the director
00:12:23of the film "Bisikan Desa Gringsing." There's Akni Nihak
00:12:27here. Hello Akni, how are you? I'm
00:12:30great, thank you. There's also the director, Mas Ivander Tj
00:12:33Sukmana. Hello Mas Ivander, how are you? Hello Mas, how are you? I'm good, I'm good,
00:12:37everyone. So maybe first I want to go to Akni. Akni, this
00:12:41is a new film, "Bisikan Desa Geringsing." So
00:12:45why did Akni decide, "Okay, I'll join this horror
00:12:48film project"? Is this her first horror film or has she done many? This is not
00:12:52the first time, but why did we join this one? First of all, usually
00:12:56when I want to take a film, it's based on
00:12:59the character, whether the character
00:13:01has a soul
00:13:05within it, whether it's complex,
00:13:09uh-huh, that's one thing first. Second, I look at who the director is, then I look at
00:13:13the production house, and when I talked to the director,
00:13:17it turned out that, wow, it seems like we can really click,
00:13:20that's the first thing. Then the producers
00:13:23also felt like they really owned the project,
00:13:26so finally all three said yes. And one more thing, this
00:13:29was shot abroad. Yes.
00:13:32The shooting was in Johor and Singapore. We collaborated
00:13:36with three countries. Indeed, this is an ambitious
00:13:39project. And when I was told that we would be shooting with VP,
00:13:43VP, VP, the shooting uses virtual
00:13:47production technology. And I think that's something
00:13:51new to me, but I'm also interested and curious to learn.
00:13:55And I want to be here, so I was like, "Okay, let's do it, I want to." Maybe I want to ask
00:13:59Mas Ivander. I just heard about a horror film being made
00:14:02using VP or virtual production. Is it going to be the first
00:14:05movie in Indonesia that uses VP or what, Mas?
00:14:09Actually, Mas, if it's for the horror
00:14:12genre, this film is the first one, the first one, right? Yes, but
00:14:16is this the first film that uses VP in
00:14:19Indonesia? No, this is the second film. So what's the
00:14:22difference if, for example, shooting with VP production compared
00:14:26to shooting on a real set, Mas? What's the biggest difference in terms of the process and output, Mas Ivander?
00:14:29Actually, the biggest difference
00:14:33is the shooting process. If
00:14:37this technology shortens
00:14:40the shooting time. The shooting
00:14:44somewhat prolongs the preparation time, but the shooting
00:14:48becomes more effective, shorter,
00:14:51and more controlled. Okay, how long was the shooting process with
00:14:55this VP, Mas? If it's with VP, if overall,
00:14:58we were in Johor for 2 months.
00:15:02Uh-huh. But the shooting days were probably
00:15:04around 15 days. But what's interesting is
00:15:08that Akni also said this was a collaboration with crews from
00:15:11Malaysia and Singapore. Tell us,
00:15:14Akni, what's the difference when collaborating with crews from
00:15:18Malaysia and Singapore compared to the Indonesian crews
00:15:22you usually work with? Maybe it's the work ethic.
00:15:26What's the difference in work ethic? Usually, in Indonesia,
00:15:29maybe we have more breaks. Even when filming, some
00:15:33people are still smoking and so on because it's a conventional
00:15:37set. But when they're in the studio,
00:15:41they're more disciplined, more disciplined because maybe
00:15:44their hours are limited, because there are labor
00:15:48regulations that require filming
00:15:51not to exceed 8 hours. So it's healthy, right?
00:15:54This is the healthiest shooting I've
00:15:58ever had. The healthiest.
00:16:00The healthiest, and somehow I was a bit confused, like, "Oh,
00:16:04there's such a healthy shooting like this? I'm not even tired yet."
00:16:08Okay, that's from the scheduling aspect, it's very healthy for
00:16:11the actors and the cast, right? But in terms of bonding, I also heard
00:16:15there were extras from Malaysia or from
00:16:18Singapore. How do they carry themselves when they
00:16:22have to work with international colleagues?
00:16:25It seems like they are very well-trained and professional
00:16:29extras, right? They are also generous
00:16:32actors, so you can really feel their discipline.
00:16:36Everyone who leaves this village
00:16:39dies.
00:16:43In other horror films, they want to show how scary ghosts
00:16:46are. Yes, here it's the opposite,
00:16:50how scary humans are, the horror of
00:16:53humans, and the excitement
00:16:54of this story.
00:17:00Eagle Institute Indonesia, an institution focused on education and
00:17:04development of documentary films with strong character,
00:17:08broad-mindedness and achievements at national and international
00:17:11levels. Eagle alumni are spread throughout
00:17:15Indonesia, coloring the development of documentary films. Let's
00:17:18collaborate to record,
00:17:22weave stories and preserve diversity
00:17:25with Eagle Institute
00:19:50caught on to the scheduling and discipline,
00:19:53it's really there. So from Mas Ivander, the director,
00:19:57what can be learned from collaborating with Malaysia and
00:20:01Singapore, Mas? As for the crew yesterday,
00:20:04I was very happy, because all of them
00:20:08had good work ethic, very
00:20:10disciplined, not ineffective, no small talk, they
00:20:14were focused. Uh, not that
00:20:18we're not like that, but maybe this is because their
00:20:21working hours are set, so when it's over, it's
00:20:25over. So maybe their
00:20:28energy and focus are sharp. Now back to the story again,
00:20:32maybe Akni can tell us about her character, and what
00:20:36the story is about in "Bisikan Desa Gringsing" compared to existing
00:20:39horror films. What is it actually? If you want to talk about
00:20:43what the film wants to convey, let's turn to the director first, right?
00:20:47So that maybe Mas can say something after that.
00:20:50Yes, if you ask if this is
00:20:53different from other horror films, it's definitely different.
00:20:56Uh-huh. Uh, actually, I once said this: people always say,
00:21:00"This horror is different, this horror is different," right? But
00:21:04when we watch it, the kuntilanak is still there,
00:21:07appearing
00:21:10from under the bed, on top
00:21:13of the wardrobe, the window opens, its eyes
00:21:17hang, it's always the same, right? Yes, right?
00:21:20I mean, the effort is big too to be a kuntilanak.
00:21:23So it's already dead.
00:21:26So I'm just kidding. What I mean is,
00:21:30the challenge is how to make this
00:21:33different. That means, uh, honestly, if you call it
00:21:36horror, horror doesn't necessarily mean showing
00:21:40pocong or kuntilanak
00:21:43repeatedly. It's not like that. Horror is something scary,
00:21:46right? So from that main thread of scary,
00:21:50we create something scary, but not
00:21:53in the usual way. That's one thing. Two,
00:21:56from the type of story, there's
00:21:59a reason why the actors are chosen that way,
00:22:02who are very strong in drama. So
00:22:06those who have watched it will definitely say this is a psychological
00:22:09thriller, but coincidentally, one of the
00:22:13characters is a ghost, that's it. But we don't
00:22:16rely on jump scares. This isn't it. From the beginning, we're just
00:22:20tense, like, have you ever walked into a room
00:22:24but the atmosphere isn't right? Someone's fighting. From the moment you walk
00:22:28in until we leave, it's
00:22:30just, the energy isn't good. That's what
00:22:33we're aiming for. So if you want to summarize it or
00:22:37label it in one genre, Mas Ivan,
00:22:40how would you describe this film's genre? Because there's
00:22:44horror, there's... if there's no ghost, it's a psychological
00:22:48thriller. Psychological thriller, yes. Okay, but because
00:22:52there's also a ghost figure and a ghost character in it,
00:22:55right? Okay, what about Akni's character here?
00:22:59And actually, what's the conflict that makes it so tense
00:23:02and exciting? Can you tell us? Okay, the character's
00:23:05name is Hesti. Hesti is a
00:23:09woman who is actually mentally ill, you could say. She's
00:23:12experiencing trauma that has been around for a very long time and
00:23:16hasn't healed, and it seems to be getting worse. She can't tell the story yet.
00:23:21And when she needs her father,
00:23:24who is her only family, her father
00:23:27disappears. And finally, she has to
00:23:30look for her father, and the last information
00:23:34was that he was in Gringsing village. Her father is missing, that's the story,
00:23:38yes. Okay, and actually, her father disappeared because he wanted
00:23:41to find a cure for Hesti. Okay, which is in this village.
00:23:45Uh-huh. Then Hesti searches and enters the village, and she
00:23:49finds that... people who enter that village
00:23:52cannot leave again. No matter what, people who are already
00:23:56in that village dare not and cannot leave. They will die if
00:23:59they leave. Back to Mas Ivan. Now, this story idea,
00:24:03I immediately thought of Gringsing village.
00:24:06Is this a real village, does it actually exist, or is it fictional, Mas?
00:24:10Actually, Mas, this is very funny. A village with the name Gringsing
00:24:13does exist near Alas
00:24:16in Central Java. Uh, no, this is completely
00:24:19a fictional village. Okay, what can
00:24:23we expect from this film when we watch
00:24:27it? Uh, I feel that when
00:24:30we watch films of this
00:24:33genre that are good, after watching,
00:24:35we will feel exhausted, tired, and like,
00:24:38"Oh, I'm tired," mentally
00:24:41drained, right? Well, you'll get
00:24:44that. Okay, that's guaranteed. In other
00:24:48horror films, they want to show how scary ghosts
00:24:51are. Yes, here it's the opposite, how scary
00:24:54humans are, the horror of humans, and the excitement of this story.
00:24:58The horror of humans is what I've been asking about. I asked
00:25:02everyone yesterday, if you
00:25:05go home, uh-huh, and enter
00:25:09find inside, a kuntilanak standing
00:25:13there, or someone with a knife?
00:25:17The first one, even though neither of them is good, but if... which would
00:25:20you prefer? Follow your instincts, right?
00:25:23Yes. humans are more dangerous and unpredictable.
00:25:27And that's the powerful message that we can perhaps learn.
00:25:31So it's also a reflection that we can
00:25:34learn from. So thank you, Akni, thank you also,
00:25:38Mas Mana, for sharing with us, from the cast and
00:25:41also the director of the film "Bisikan Desa Gringsing" which will be showing in cinemas throughout
00:25:45Indonesia. And equally cool information about this film is still
00:25:49coming up after this. Stay
00:26:26If we talk about something to be proud of and inspirational, viewers, there's a drama film
00:26:30by director Kamila Andini titled "4 Musim Pertiwi" which
00:26:34was officially selected as an official selection for the Toronto International Film
00:26:37Festival 2026. And its two main actors, Arya Saloka and
00:26:41Putri Marino, admitted that they had to undergo five extreme workshops
00:26:45for 2 months to be able to deepen their respective characters.
00:26:48Starting from horseback riding, sign language, and even
00:26:52Javanese, also driving jeep cars, up to martial
00:26:56arts techniques, of course. So what were their struggles behind
00:26:59the scenes? Let's watch it together. Here's the information.
00:27:21tells the story of Pertiwi, a woman who returns to her hometown
00:27:25after 20 years away and must
00:27:28confront the past events of her life.
00:27:32The film, officially selected for the Official Selection of the Toronto
00:27:35International Film Festival 2026,
00:27:39stars Putri Marino as
00:27:42Pertiwi.
