It's been in the works for a while but now it's all nicely signed and sealed and delivered. Magnet have picked up rights to Indonesian martial arts film Merantau and will be bringing the film - a great favorite in these parts - to North America. Deals have also been done for our Euro brethren in the UK, Germany, France and a few other territories. I had a hand in getting this deal done and one thing not mentioned in the official release is that while Magnet is handling DVD and VOD release, a limited theatrical is still being explored as well via other means and hopefully there will be something to announce there shortly.

"Deals have also been done for our Euro brethren in the UK,"
good, I thought it was only for US:/
That's great news! It's not even on merantau's official website yet, I think. Is Holland included?
I am intrigued by your "other means" remark, as Magnolia's the only company I could think of who'd bother to release an Indonesian martial arts picture to American theaters in anything resembling a competent fashion.
That's great news. I've been looking forward to this since hearing that the director of the great Footsteps followed it up with an Indonesian martial arts film. Can't wait to see it however it's released.
AWESOME!!!!
Let's hope they keep the Bahasa Soundtrack as an option.
So will this be the last un-named film in the Six Shooter Film Series?
