The first teaser for 'Zona Merah: Dead City', a major adaptation of the Indonesian zombie series 'Zona Merah', has been released ahead of the film's January 14, 2027 release in Indonesian cinemas.

Screenplay Films, which unveiled the trailer on Friday, is touting the film as the biggest zombie production Indonesia has ever made.

The Source series, a Vidio original, has over 34 million views on the streamer.

Vicki V. "As one of the most ambitious projects we've ever undertaken, we want to deliver an extraordinary cinematic experience for everyone, not just fans of the Zona Merah franchise," said Screenplay Films producer Olindo. Popular in Variety

The teaser shows where this ambition has gone. This series remained mostly in the countryside, among villages and quarantine places. This film moves the outbreak of the disease to the city streets and shopping malls, and the action takes place in an airport.

Siddhartha Tata is back to direct and co-directs the film with Fajar Martha Santosa.

From day one, we knew we had to go all out for Zona Merah: Dead City. We shot in three cities in Indonesia, we worked with them. They built hundreds of extras, and incredible sets,” Tata said.

Several faces from the series are returning, including Agni Haque, Andrey Mashadi, Devano, Maria Theodore and Lokman Sardi. Brian Dumany, Shindy Huang, Misha Lynn, Derby Romero and Luna Maia join the franchise for the first time. Maya is also the executive producer of this film.
