Producer Roy Lee (It, Godzilla, The Ring, The Grudge, Watcher) has put together quite the genre ensemble for Boy Kills World, an action movie set in a dystopian fever dream reality that is gearing up to shoot in South Africa, says Deadline.
Bill Skarsgard, who starred as Pennywise in New Line Cinema’s It: Chapter One and Two, “will lead the cast as protagonist Boy, a deaf-mute with a vibrant imagination,” explains the site.
“When his family is murdered, he escapes to the jungle and is trained by a mysterious shaman to repress his childish imagination and become an instrument of death.”
Also attached are horror fav Samara Weaving (“Ash vs Evil Dead”, Ready or Not, Mayhem, Bill and Ted Face the Music), who will play assassin June 27, and martial arts expert Yayan Ruhian of The Raid fame, who will be Boy’s mentor.
German filmmaker Moritz Mohr is set to make his feature directing debut on the project. His previous short films include Akumi, which was an award-winner in Germany.
The site notes: “Mohr put together a detailed previsualization of the film’s cinematic approach, which caught the eye of Sam Raimi, who will now produce the feature through his banner Raimi Productions alongside Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment.
The screenplay was written by Arend Remmers (Sløborn) and Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury: The Movie).
