Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have cracked their knuckles and flexed their muscles by drop-kicking a Red Band trailer for Moritz Mohr’s upcoming action thriller Boy Kills World, which stars Bill Skarsgård as a revenge seeking orphan on a journey of carnage and blood-letting.
Lining up alongside Skarsgård in the cast are Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, Yayan Ruhian, Andrew Koji, Sharlto Copley and Famke Janssen, and featuring the voice talents of H. Jon Benjamin as Skarsgård’s inner-monologue. Check out the Red Band trailer below…
Bill Skarsgård stars as “Boy” who avows revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke 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 (Yayan 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 arrives in cinemas on April 26th.
