channel<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">German-born filmmaker Moritz Mohr has been directing short films and television for almost two decades, but with <\/span><b><i>Boy Kills World<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he takes on his first feature film, a violent and gory revenge thriller starring Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd (<\/span><b><i>It<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Barbarian<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) as the deaf and mute Boy who seeks revenge for the murder of his mother and sister during an annual event called \u201cThe Culling.\u201d It\u2019s the mastermind idea to quell overpopulation by the country\u2019s despotic leader, Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen) and her family, who Boy spends decades training in order to take down their regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\"

<\/span><b><i>Boy Kills World<\/i><\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is rather comedic, much of that coming from the presence of Andrew Koji (<\/span><b><i>Snake Eyes<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) and Isaiah (<\/span><b><i>It Chapter Two<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) Mustafa\u2019s Basho and Benny, who help Boy get to the Van Der Koys, played by Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Brett Gelman, and Sharlto Copley.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cinema Daily US got on Zoom with Mohr for the following interview, to talk about the project he spent many years developing, including the casting process and choreographing some of the film\u2019s crazy action sequences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
