TIFF ’08: Director vs Audience Member in ‘Martyrs’ Q+A
Last was the premiere of the French horror film Martyrs (review) at the Midnight Madness portion of the Toronto International Film Festival. After the film ended, most of the sold out crowd stayed for a special Q+A session with Director Pascal Laugier where things took an interesting turn. One of the audience members called out Laugier and dissed his film. What resulted? A good old fashioned butt-whooping. Inside you’ll find the full question and answers session (spoilers follow), along with a fun little behind-the-scenes video starring the ladies of MARTYRS, Morjana Alaoui and Mylene Jampanoi. If you want to watch the confrontation, go straight to part 3.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES
From producer Sam Raimi, the violent Boy Kills World may not have made a splash in theaters, but Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions are hoping you’ll check it out at home.
Boy Kills World will release on Digital at home on Tuesday, May 28.
You can digitally pre-order the film for $24.99 today.
Starring Bill Skarsgård, the film from producers Sam Raimi and Roy Lee is described as “a one-of-a-kind action spectacle set in a dystopian fever dream reality.”
Boy Kills World is rated “R” for “Strong bloody violence and gore throughout, language, some drug use and sexual references.” Preview some of the gory violence below…
Moritz Mohr directed Boy Kills World, which was written by Arend Remmers (Sløborn) and Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury: The Movie).
In Boy Kills World, “Boy (Bill Skarsgård) is a deaf-mute with a vibrant imagination. When his family is murdered, Boy escapes to the jungle and is trained by a mysterious shaman to repress his childish imagination and become an instrument of death.”
Raimi previews, “Mohr brings a distinct visual style and an unbridled imagination to the screen, creating an original, outrageous, and visceral thrill ride. Boy Kills World‘s eclectic cast, eye-popping stunt sequences, and deranged sense of humor will blow audiences away.”
The cast also includes Happy Death Day star Jessica Rothe, Yayan Ruhian (John Wick 3, The Raid: Redemption), Andrew Koji (Warrior, Snake Eyes), Isaiah Mustafa (It: Chapter Two), Famke Janssen (The Postcard Killings), Sharlto Copley (District 9), Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey”), Brett Gelman (Stranger Things), Quinn Copeland (Peacock’s Punky Brewster), and twins Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti (Big Little Lies).
