Kellan Lutz, Mickey Rourke featured in new poster for Java Heat This is actually one of the most popular films we have in our database at the moment and tells of an American in Indonesia who joins forces with a Muslim cop in order to hunt down a terrorist. Connor Allyn, whom I must confess, I've never heard of before, but best of luck to him anyway, directs the film, as well as scripting alongside sibling (I assume) Rob Allyn. Also in the cast are Ario Bayu, Rio Dewanto, Uli Auliani, Mike Duncan and Atiqah Hasiholan. IFC Films distributes the actioner from Margate House, in association with Im Global. Check out all the images (recently updated) from the movie below as well.
