Filmmaker Moritz Mohr (Akumi) makes his feature directorial debut with his new action comedy-thriller, Boy Kills World, currently playing in theaters. Bill Skarsgård (Barbarian, It) stars as “Boy” who is on the hunt for revenge after his family is murdered by the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty which has left him orphaned, deaf, and voiceless.
Written by Tyler Burton Smith (Child’s Play) and Arend Remmers (Oderbruch), Boy Kills World also stars Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day, Happy Death Day 2U), Michelle Dockery (The Gentlemen, Downton Abbey), Brett Gelman (Stranger Things, Fleabag), Isaiah Mustafa (Shadowhunters, It Chapter Two), Yayan Ruhian (The Raid films, Yakuza Apocalypse), Andrew Koji (Warrior, Snake Eyes), Sharlto Copley (Monkey Man, District 9), and Famke Janssen (Locked In, X-Men).
Driven by his inner voice narrated by H. Jon Benjamin (Archer, Bob’s Burgers), “Boy trains with a mysterious shaman 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.”
