        "content": "<p>The megaseller novel Seporsi Mie Ayam Sebelum Mati by Brian Khrisna\nwill be adapted into a feature film. Production will begin in April this\nyear. The project is a collaboration between two production houses,\nSinergi Pictures and Ben Film. The film will be directed by Kuntz Agus,\nwith a screenplay written by Alim Sudio and Nia Dinata serving as script\nconsultant.<\/p>\n<p>The film centers on Ale, a man at rock bottom who contemplates ending\nhis life. In the final 24 hours before that decision, Ale longs to eat\nmie ayam. However, his plan is delayed because the stall he intends to\ngo to is closed. That delay becomes the beginning of a series of\nencounters that change his perspective on life.<\/p>\n<p>The novel has been read by hundreds of thousands of people and is\ncurrently approaching its 100th printing. It has also been translated\nand published in Japanese. The film adaptation is expected to reach a\nwider audience, including viewers who have not read the novel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to its readership, our reason at Sinergi Pictures for\nadapting this novel into a film is that the story is very good, closely\nrelatable to many people and, of course, inspirational. This aligns with\nSinergi Pictures\u2019 films that consistently present strong stories and\ncapture the realities around us,\u201d said Philip Lesmana, producer at\nSinergi Pictures, in a press release received by Media Indonesia, on\nWednesday (4\/3).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, producer Ardina Atles of Ben Film added that the selection\nof filmmakers and cast has been carefully considered to deliver the best\nresults and meet readers\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTranslating a novel to film is easy or hard, but there is the appeal\nof adapting a literary work. Readers inevitably have high expectations\nfor the work they love. However, together with Sinergi Pictures, from\nchoosing filmmakers to actors, we strive to satisfy audiences, both\nthose who have read the novel and those who have not. We are also eager\nto begin shooting soon,\u201d Ardina said.<\/p>\n<p>After conducting casting in several cities and naming a number of\nactors, the depiction of Ale remains unannounced to the public. The film\nis currently in pre-production. (H-3)<\/p>",
