‘Boy Kills World’ – Bill Skarsgård Goes on a Violent Rampage in First Trailer
Boy Kills World is a dystopian fever dream filled with bloody action and the dulcet tones of H. Jon Benjamin.
The movie is set in a violent dystopian world. A deaf and mute man (played by Bill Skarsgård and H. Jon Benjamin) is out to avenge the death of his loved ones at the hands of the head of a corrupt and deranged crime family. His path is bloody fights.
It’s got action, hyper-violence, gore, a sense of humor, and a great cast. Visuals have a video game/manga look to them. Let’s hope it can stand out from all of the revenge thrillers we’ve gotten in the last decade.
Boy Kills World Cast & Details
This is Moritz Mohr’s directorial debut from a screenplay by Arend Remmers (Snowflake) and Tyler Burton Smith (Alan Wake 2).
The cast is led by Bill Skarsgård as Boy. Also included are Famke Janssen as Hilda van der Koy, Brett Gelman as Gideon van der Koy, Sharlto Copley as Glen van der Koy, Michelle Dockery as Melanie van der Koy, Jessica Rothe as June 27, Isaiah Mustafa as Benny, Andrew Koji as Basho, Quinn Copeland as Mina, and Yayan Ruhian as a shaman.
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.
Boy Kills World hits theaters on April 26th.
