Boy Seeks Revenge: Bill Skarsgard Covered in Blood

In the movie “Boy Kills World,” Bill Skarsgård plays the character Boy, a deaf and voiceless orphan living in a totalitarian regime controlled by the Van Der Koy family. Trained by a mysterious shaman, Boy becomes a skilled assassin seeking revenge for his family’s murder. Director Moritz Mohr aimed to create a film that he enjoyed watching himself, with a unique focus on non-verbal acting by Skarsgård. The actor underwent a significant physical transformation for the role, losing 20 pounds to portray a lean and muscular character.

Despite the violent and gory nature of “Boy Kills World,” actress Famke Janssen compares the film to a video game in its hyper-reality. Janssen and actor Brett Gelman express concerns about the real-world parallels to the film’s dystopian setting, emphasizing the importance of maintaining hope in troubled times. The movie features a talented cast, including Jessica Rothe, Isaiah Mustafa, Andrew Koji, Yayan Ruhian, Michelle Dockery, and Brett Gelman, in addition to Skarsgård and Janssen.

“Boy Kills World” is set to premiere in theaters this weekend, offering an action-packed and thrilling viewing experience for audiences. Mohr and the cast discuss their favorite martial arts films and the creative choices made in bringing the story to life on-screen.
