A trailer has been released for Doug Liman's long-delayed Chaos Walking, based on the 2008 novel The Knife of Never Letting Go. Starring Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley, the film "has gone through multiple scripts from the likes of Charlie Kaufman and The Blind Side filmmaker John Lee Hancock," IndieWire reported. The cast also includes Mads Mikkelsen, Demián Bichir, Kurt Sutter, Nick Jonas, Cynthia Erivo, and David Oyelowo.
Robert Zemeckis had originally been "tapped to direct the movie in 2013 off a script he liked from Kaufman," IndieWire wrote. "No progress on the project was made until Liman stepped in to make the movie in 2016. Production began in 2017 and Lionsgate set a March 1, 2019 release date, an opening that got pushed back when major reshoots had to be scheduled for 2018. By 2019, news got out that an early cut of the $100 million tentpole was deemed 'unreleasable' by Lionsgate executives. More reshoots were needed to salvage the movie and a 2021 release was set."
