Roadside Attractions has released the official trailer for Boy Kills World, the action thriller opening in theaters on April 26, 2024.
Boy Kills World is rated R for strong bloody violence and gore throughout, language, some drug use, and sexual references. The film is 111 minutes long.
Bill Skarsgård stars as “Boy,” who vows 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 (H. Jon Benjamin), 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 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.
Directed by Moritz Mohr, the movie stars Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, Yayan Ruhian, Andrew Koji, Sharlto Copley, and Famke Janssen. The voice of “Boy” is narrated by H. Jon Benjamin.
The script is by Tyler Burton Smith and Arend Remmers. The producers include Sam Raimi, Roy Lee, Simon Swart, Alex Lebovici, Stuart Manashil, Wayne Fitzjohn, Zainab Azizi, and Dan Kagan.
Coming on April 26, 2024, South African development studio Talent Digital Art will also release Super Dragon Punch Force 3, a free-to-play, live-service, 2.5D fighting game inspired by the fictitious 2D fighting game franchise depicted in Boy Kills World.
