Lionsgate’s “Chaos Walking” has released its first trailer, and there are a lot of set shots. The new production with Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley promises to be really interesting.
Chaos Walking is the latest film project of the Lionsgate Studio. The story is taken from the Patrick Ness series of books of the same title, and more precisely on the action of its first volume, The Knife of Never Letting Go (2008). The studio bought the rights to the screening in 2011, after the films from the Twilight series (2008-2012) were successful among teenage audiences. During this time, four parts of the Hunger Games (2012-2015) were also produced under the wings of Lionsgate , at the same time taking on Chaos Walking several times , but never fully shooting the film. Now, finally, the title is complete – and the cast has been pretty much involved.
Here’s the first trailer!
The story is about Todd (played by Tom Holland – Spider-Man: Homecoming , Spider-Man: Far From Home , Uncharted ) and Viola (Daisy Ridley – Star Wars: The Force Awakens , Star Wars: Skywalker. Rebirth , Ophelia ). The world in which the heroes have to find themselves is characterized by the fact that all thoughts are heard by other people in it. Almost all of them, because Viola is the only one who can keep them to herself. This probably has to do with the fact that she seems to be the only woman left on the planet. Todd decides to help the girl and the two set out on a journey full of threats, chased by various dangers.
Apart from Holland and Ridley, the film also includes Mads Mikkelsen (Mayor Prentiss), Nick Jonas (Davy Prentiss Jr.), Cynthia Erivo (Hildy), David Oyelowo (Aaron), and Kurt Sutter (Cillian). You can see them in the photos from the set, shared by the IGN portal .
The premiere of Chaos Walking is scheduled for January 22, 2021.
