Korean production banner, Barunson E&A, has been cast as a feature film adaptation of the Indonesian horror series Zona Merah: Dead City. The Seoul outfit will handle international sales on the project and will launch it at the Cannes Marché alongside Thai hitmaker Banjong Pisanthanakun. This move further in Barun's ongoing push into Southeast Asian cinema as the company continues to develop a portfolio of saleable genre titles from the region. The original series premiered on Vidio, the Emtek Group-owned platform, drew over 34 million views and a surge of new subscribers. The new feature is said to widen the scope, with another city falling and a fresh red zone emerging.
