Since bursting onto the scene with V\/H\/S\/ 2<\/em>‘s Gareth Evans co-directed segment ‘Safe Haven’, Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto has steadily built a very robust directorial CV \u2014 delivering the one-two punch of 80s Hong Kong action homage The Night Comes For Us<\/em> and horror joint May the Devil Take You<\/em> before proving his Hollywood genre chops with last year’s violent delight Nobody 2<\/em>. Now, in the same week the first trailer dropped for Tjahjanto’s second Hollywood sequel on the trot, The Beekeeper 2<\/em>, Deadline<\/em> is reporting that the action man is set for original Miramax action comedy The Burnout<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we tend to err on the side of caution when movies get floated with tantalising ‘X meets Y’ descriptions (although Send Help<\/em>‘s ‘Cast Away<\/em> meets Misery<\/em>‘ was a recent one that proved deliciously right), but The Burnout<\/em> comes with a real doozy. Per Deadline<\/em>, Tjahjanto’s next movie is being billed as \u2014 wait for it! \u2014 The Big Lebowski<\/em> meets Jason Bourne<\/em>, with the action following a past his prime former CIA agent, whose life as a carefree burnout (hey, that’s the title!) in Ibiza is upended when he finds himself reluctantly dragged back into action. Penned by Tom O\u2019Connor (The Hitman’s Bodyguard<\/em>), with further punch-ups by Hunter Toro, the movie may have a premise that feels distinctly Nobody<\/em>-esque, but that stoner comedy\/espionage thriller comp bodes well for an actioner that’ll come carrying its own distinct flavour and tonality.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Burnout<\/em> is just the latest exciting genre movie plate Timo Tjahjanto is spinning at present, and joins a pipeline that elsewhere includes a planned Simu Liu led Sleeping Dogs<\/em> adaptation, a sequel to Netflix hit The Shadow Strays<\/em>, and an as-yet-untitled Indonesian-language thriller that’s currently in production at Netflix as well. All of which is to say that if you happen to be a Timo head (which we very much all do here at Empire HQ) then it looks like there’ll be no shortage of Tjahjanto-shaped treats punching, kicking, and otherwise fighting their way onto our screens in the near future.<\/p>\n
