Boy Kills World

Moritz Mohr directs Boy Kills World, which stars Bill Skarsgård as a “boy” who vows revenge for his family’s murder. Famke Janssen plays Hilda Van Der Koy, the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless. 

Driven by his inner voice, which he co-opted from his favorite childhood video game, boy trains with a mysterious shaman, played by Yayan Ruhian. He wants to become an instrument of death and set himself loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents. 

Bedlam ensues as boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting the wrath of carnage and blood-letting. As he tries to get his bearings in this delirious realm, boy soon falls in with a desperate resistance group, all the while bickering with the apparent ghost of his rebellious little sister.

Other cast members are Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Sharlto Copley, Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, and Andrew Koji.

“Twisters” Trailer

This summer, the epic studio disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, big-screen thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous—and destructive—forces.

A modern-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster Twister, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, Twisters stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell. They are opposing forces who come together to predict and tame the immense power of tornadoes.

Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. Her friend, Javi, played by Anthony Ramos, lures her back to the open plains to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. 

She crosses paths with Tyler Owens, played by Powell, the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew—the more dangerous, the better.

As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before come unleashed. Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
