Boy Kills World, which stars Bill Skarsgard (It) and Jessica Rothe (

Happy Death Day) – but while we wait for that information, a mysterious “Cannes trailer” for the film has made its way online, and you can check it out in the embed above!Boy Kills World has been rated R for strong bloody violence and gore throughout, language, some drug use and sexual references… and you can see some of the reasons for that rating in the Cannes trailer.Produced by the legendary Sam Raimi, Boy Kills World

was scripted by Arend Remmers (Sloborn) and Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury: The Movie). The story is set in a dark, bizarre dystopian world and revolves around Boy (Skarsgard), a deaf, mute character. Boy’s family are brutally murdered. Boy’s fight or flight instincts take him on a life-threatening journey into the darkly forest jungle. There, he meets a shaman (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 (The Raid: Redemption), Andrew Koji (Warrior), Isaiah Mustafa (It: Chapter Two), Famke Janssen (The Faculty), Brett Gelman (Stranger Things), Sharlto Copley (District 9), Quinn Copeland (Punky Brewster

), twin brothers Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti (Big Little Lies), and Michelle Dockery (

Melanie is a satirical powerhouse and sociopath who tries to project a powerful cohesive family image to hide the desperation behind their decaying dynasty.” Janssen, Gelman, and Copley are also members of the antagonistic Van Der Koy family, with Janssen as matriarch Hilda, and Gelman and Copley as Gideon and Glen, respectively.Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi are producing
