Produced by the legendary Sam Raimi, Boy Kills World was scripted by Arend Remmers and Tyler Burton Smith.

The story takes place in a bizarre, dark dystopian universe and centers on a deaf and mute character, Boy (Skarsgård), who navigates this depressing world with his otherworldly imagination. Tragedy strikes when Boy’s family is brutally murdered. When his fight or flight instincts kick in, Boy finds himself on a life-threatening trek into the darkly forested jungle.

There, he meets a shaman (Yayan Ruhian) who takes Boy under his wing and launches him into a cutthroat coming of age journey where he encourages his new pupil to leave his youth behind and pick up the baton as a highly trained assassin.

Skarsgard and Rothe are joined in the cast by Yayan Ruhian, Andrew Koji, Isaiah Mustafa, Famke Janssen, Brett Gelman, Sharlto Copley, Quinn Copeland, twin brothers Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti, and Michelle Dockery.
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi are producing Boy Kills World through Raimi Productions.

Roy Lee, Simon Swart, Wayne Fitzjohn, Alex Lebovici, Stuart Manashil and Dan Kagan are also producers.

Reza Brojerdi and Andrew Childs are executive producers.

Prorom will release Boy Kills World in cinemas from May 10 (Romania) and June 20 (Hungary).
