IO9 announced in 2009 that he is working on another science fiction movie but there does not seem to be much information in it on the net, here is the synopsis from the straight times via IO9.

CE1 is set in modern Malaysia, revolving around a teen genius named Zaki. His interest in robotics and mechanical engineering isolates him from his peers and the villagers. The boy finds solace in a joint project with another person to create the first-ever Malaysian android robot. The android, CE1, bears witness to the boy’s rite of passage, his first love, and his many accomplishments and misadventures. It also starts to harbour ambitions of its own.
