‘Boy Kills World’ Producer Alex Lebovici Breaks Down His Journey From Window Washing To A “Calculated Gamble” With Hammerstone Studios
Producer Alex Lebovici spoke with Deadline recently about his journey building genre-focused production company Hammerstone Studios.
Directed by Moritz Mohr, the film has him playing Boy, who vows revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that earlier in life left him orphaned, deaf and voiceless. Early on, Lebovici worked on a “really terrible” zombie movie, “a bunch of small action programmers with Dolph Lundgren and Nicolas Cage,” as well as Billionaire Boys Club, a true-crime thriller that looked good on paper but proved “unwatchable” and got buried by Kevin Spacey’s #MeToo scandal. Co-financed alongside New Regency and released by 20th Century Studios, the film was highly acclaimed and launched director Zach Cregger toward multiple hot bidding wars on other projects, grossing 10x its $4.5M production cost with $45M worldwide.
