The Red Band trailer for the film Boy Kills World has arrived, delivering a whirlwind of action, violence, and vengeance—and we’re totally here for it! Boy Kills World promises a post-apocalyptic odyssey fueled by rage and redemption.
Directed by the visionary Moritz Mohr and penned by the talented duo of Tyler Burton Smith and Arend Remmers. It is produced by a powerhouse team led by Sam Raimi (of Evil Dead fame) and Roy Lee (It franchise).
Ruled by Ruthlessness
The film plunges us into a dystopian landscape led by a twisted dynasty headed by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen). Bill Skarsgård takes center stage as the titular “Boy,” a young man robbed of his family and voice by this ruthless regime. Left orphaned, deaf, and voiceless, “Boy” reflects the brutality of this world.
A Path to Vengeance
Driven by a burning desire for retribution, “Boy” finds solace in a unique companion: a voice narrated by H. Jon Benjamin. Fueled by memories of a past video game, this internal dialogue becomes his guiding force. To hone his skills for the inevitable confrontation, “Boy” seeks the tutelage of a mysterious shaman, played by the legendary Yayan Ruhian.
Transformed into a lethal weapon, “Boy” is unleashed on the eve of a horrifying event – the annual culling of dissenters. What follows is a breathtaking display of martial arts and mayhem as he carves a bloody path through his oppressors. This promises a symphony of violence and carnage, pushing the boundaries of action cinema.
Amidst the chaos, Boy stumbles upon a desperate resistance group. As he navigates this unfamiliar world, a unique dynamic emerges. “Boy” grapples not only with his external enemies but also with the ghost of his sister, whose presence offers both comfort and conflict.
A Star-Studded Cast
Skarsgård (The Crow) isn’t the only big name gracing the screen. Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day), Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey”), Brett Gelman (Fleabag), and Isaiah Mustafa (Old Spice commercials) star alongside Andrew Koji (Fast & Furious 6), Sharlto Copley (District 9), and Janssen.
With its blend of dark themes, stunning action sequences, and a stellar cast, this film promises to leave audiences on the edge of their seats. Watch Boy Kills World in theaters on April 26, 2024, from Roadside Attractions and Lionsgate.
