Evans worked on a multiple drafts, tweaking the story line, characters and parts of the plot and completed it in the summer of 2012. (A close associate from XYZ Films, Nate Bolotin, Todd Brown, Nick Spicer and Aram Tertzakian kept a close discussion and adaptation of Berandal into The Raid 2). Gareth Evans began revisiting Berandal's script to determine if it could be adapted as a sequel to The Raid. After The Raid: Redemption's success, Gareth Evans and Barack- Evans were convinced that there was potential for a RAID franchise. The Raid: Redemption was received positively from both Indonesian and international audiences in 2012. Unfortunately, they struggled and were forced to put the project on hold while Merantau Films moved forward with its second feature film, The Raid: Redemption, produced in 2011. Evans and Barack spent the whole year of 2010 searching for funding and technical support fit for the ambitious project. The script contained substantial action scenes and complicated stunts that required a much bigger production than Merantau. In 2009, after the successful release of Merantau, Evans wrote an ambitious action drama, Berandal (Delinquent / English translation).

And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. He couldn't have been more wrong.įormidable though they may have been, Rama's opponents in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed possible. After fighting his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen - a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls - rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life.
