Boy Kills World Interview: Working with Bill Skarsgård, Isaiah Mustafa & Andrew Koji
As though making a first feature isn’t hard enough, Moritz Mohr opted to make his directorial debut a film that incorporates a multitude of genres, a significant amount of world-building, and a slew of very ambitious and bloody action set pieces.
Boy Kills World stars Bill Skarsgård as a young man who becomes determined to topple Hilda Van Der Koy's (Famke Janssen) post-apocalyptic dynasty after an incident that leaves him orphaned, deafened, and voiceless. After being trained by a mysterious shaman (Yayan Ruhian), Boy sets out to get his revenge, a mission loaded with “bloody martial arts mayhem,” including an incident with a cheese grater.
Just before Boy Kills World’s world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, Mohr and producers Zainab Azizi and Simon Swart visited the Collider media studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to discuss how they brought this bonkers idea to the big screen. The trio discusses how the script evolved, that brutal cheese grater scene, Isaiah Mustafa's nonsensical yet brilliant dialogue, getting to see a new side of Andrew Koji, and loads more.
