Trailer watch: Make Money (Indonesian film)

We preview the trailer for upcoming Indonesian Trading Places-comedy Make Money.

Making films outside of the industry's well known markets can often bring a new set of challenges to the fold. Director Sean Monteiro, who spent much of his childhood in Indonesia, has been working to bring his first feature film to fruition since 2009. Having spent years in Australia making smaller productions, Make Money, his first feature filmed and produced in Indonesia.

We had a chat with Monteiro about his upcoming feature, and we'll be posting that interview closer to the release date. Until then, we're sharing with you first the trailer for the film. We'll get into the nitty gritty of the behind-the-scenes with him in the interview but from the trailer the film looks to be the work a seasoned vet than a relative newcomer to the field.

Taking the idea from the Eddie Murphy-starring Trading Places, Make Money is about a poor man who is thrust into the rich lifestyle when a beleaguered wealthy man leaves his inheritance to the poor man instead of his two sons.

The Indonesian comedy will open in Indonesian cinemas November 14th but hopes to find international footing over the months ahead.
