‘Qodrat 3,’ ‘Mayat Hidup’ Among Magma Entertainment Slate at JAFF Market

Leading Indonesian studio Magma Entertainment has confirmed “Qodrat 3,” the latest instalment of their hit franchise, at the JAFF Market.

Founded by siblings Charles and Linda Gozali, the children of pioneering Garuda Films producer, the late Hendrick Gozali, Magma was founded in 2003.

“Qodrat 3” was first announced at the inaugural JAFF Market last year.

Producer Charles Gozali said: “Making ‘Qodrat 3’ isn’t just responding to market demand, it’s about protecting a cinematic legacy. We are approaching this with precision and care to ensure the third instalment stands on firm creative justification, from the directing vision and character evolution to the spiritual depth at the heart of the story.”

Formally announcing the launch of “Qodrat 3,” Magma Entertainment underscored “Qodrat” as the studio’s flagship IP as the cinematic universe expands. The next instalment of Ustadz Qodrat’s story will be slated for Indonesian theaters in 2028. Charles Gozali, as the main producer of “Qodrat” series emphasized the significance of deliberate world-building in a discussion session held at Magma Entertainment’s booth.

The company also unveiled “Mayat Hidup,” billed as as a campy and colorful comedic horror explicitly inspired by iconic vampire flicks of Hong Kong cinema from the 80s and 90s. The producers promise a vibrant, dynamic tone that appeals to nostalgic cultural aesthetics that are valued throughout Asia. Its production is scheduled to start in 2026.

The producers confirmed “Badut Gendong” as the pivotal step in the expansion of the “Qodrat” cinematic universe, which will be released across Indonesia in 2026. Featuring Marthino Lio as the leading role, the main plot navigates a fresh mystery of a haunting clown-doll entity.

Unveiled earlier in the day was “Badut Gendong,” a co-production between Magma Entertainment, Legacy Pictures, Virtuelines Entertainment, VMS Studio, Caravan Studios and Malaysia’s Komet Productions, Skop Productions, Astro Shaw, plus India’s Applause Entertainment. Directed by Charles Gozali, the film also features Dayinta Melira, Clara Bernadeth and Derby Romero in the cast.

“‘Badut Gendong’ is the natural evolution of the ‘Qodrat’ universe. We’re not simply making a spin-off, we’re building a larger, more immersive narrative architecture. We are committed to preserving the emotional depth that has always been the DNA of ‘Qodrat,’” producer Linda Gozali said.
