A bomb full of action comes this April, Boy Kills World with Sam Raimi and Roy as part of the producing team. The film originally made its debut during the 2023 International Film Festival. The project was directed by the German filmmaker, Moritz Mohr. Bringing Bill Skarsgård as the “Boy” seeking revenge against the Van Der Koys. But the Van Der Koys composed by Michelle Dockery, Brett Gelman, Sharlto Copley and Famke Janssen will not easily let themselves get defeated.
The Synopsis
Skarsgård stars as “Boy” who vows revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Janssen), the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that left the boy orphaned, deaf and voiceless. Driven by his inner voice, one which he co-opted from his favorite childhood video game, Boy trains with a mysterious shaman (Ruhian) to become an instrument of death and is set loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents. Bedlam ensues as Boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting a wrath of carnage and blood-letting. As he tries to get his bearings in this delirious realm, Boy soon falls in with a desperate resistance group, all the while bickering with the apparent ghost of his rebellious little sister.
Check out the trailer with H. Jon Benjamin’s voice narrating the “Boy.”
BOY KILLS WORLD will be making its release in theaters April 26, 2024.
