Chaos Walking Poster Teases Daisy Ridley & Tom Holland-Led Sci-Fi Film

November 13, 2020

More than two years since reshoots for Chaos Walking had been completed, Lionsgate has finally released the first official poster for Doug Liman’s long-delayed sci-fi film, featuring Star Wars alum Daisy Ridle as Viola Eade and MCU star Tom Holland as Tom Hewlitt. Check out the full Chaos Walking poster in the gallery below!

The big screen adaptation of author Patrick Ness‘ young adult trilogy is being directed by Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, Mr. & Mrs. Smith), and Lionsgate, which is spending between $90-$100 million on the movie, hopes that the ambitious sci-fi thriller will launch a franchise. The post-apocalyptic tale officially described as follows:

From Carnegie Award-winning author Patrick Ness comes a bold cinematic experience beyond imagination. Todd Hewitt lives on the distant planet of New World—a new hope for humanity until struck by “The Noise,” a virus which inflicts immersive visions of ones’ every thought. The cacophony drives many mad until Todd makes a hidden, silent discovery: there is a girl named Viola, who may be the key to unlocking New World’s many-layered secrets. Together, the two unlikely companions are forced on a white-knuckle adventure into an unexplored planet – trying to escape and hide in an environment where all thought is heard, all movement seen –as they both discover the truth about the lives they left behind and the spectacular world they’ve learned to call home.

The film stars Tom Holland (MCU films) as Todd Hewlitt and Daisy Ridley (Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker) as Viola Eade, and co-stars Mads Mikkelsen (Doctor Strange) as Mayor Prentiss, Nick Jonas (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) as Davy Prentiss Jr., Demian Bichir (Alien: Covenant) as Ben, Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter as Cillian, and David Oyelowo (Selma, Interstellar) as Aaron.

The film is directed by Doug Liman from a screenplay written by Patrick Ness and Christopher Ford. Doug Davison (who worked with Liman on American Made) and Alli Shearmur (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Cinderella) are producing Chaos Walking with Robert Zemeckis and his ImageMovers’ partner Jack Rapke.

Chaos Walking was originally slated for release on March 1, 2019, but the extensive reshoots pushed the release back to its current January 21, 2021 release.
