Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar’s horror franchise sequel/prequel “Satan’s Slaves: Origin” (Indonesian title: “Pengabdi Setan 3: Origin”) has been boarded for worldwide international sales by South Korean company Barunson E&A. The project is set to be pitched to international buyers at the Toronto Film Festival’s inaugural market.
Both outlets report that Barunson E&A—known for backing global projects including Bong Joon Ho’s Oscar-winning “Parasite”—is handling the international sales launch. Deadline also describes the film as a particularly ambitious genre production within Anwar’s franchise, framing it as one of the most large-scale efforts from the director.
Variety similarly focuses on the sales and market debut, emphasizing the company’s role in introducing the next chapter of the “Satan’s Slaves” blockbuster horror series to overseas buyers. The coverage aligns on the film’s title, its franchise connection, Barunson E&A’s involvement, and the Toronto market timing, with differences largely in how the film’s ambition is characterized.
