It took some time but we’re finally getting our first look at Doug Liman’s “Chaos Walking”, an upcoming sci-fi adventure that I’ve been really curious about. In addition to loving good science-fiction, I was immediately grabbed by the cast: Daisy Ridley, Tom Holland, and (the biggest draw for me) Mads Mikkelsen. Several other good names fill out what looks like a really strong ensemble. And while Liman doesn’t always hit his marks, when he does the results can be terrific (see “The Bourne Identity” and “Edge of Tomorrow”).
“Chaos Walking” is based on a popular young adult sci-fi trilogy that I know nothing about. Basically a mysterious girl crash lands on a planet inhabited solely by men (and a few not-so-hospitable creatures). The girl is discovered by a young man played by Holland who pledges to protect her against the bevy of dangers, one of those being Mikkelsen’s ruthless Mayor Prentiss. The kicker is that the men are afflicted by something called “the Noise” which puts all of their thoughts on display either audibly or visually. Interesting concept.
“Chaos Walking” is set for a January 22, 2021 release. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
Ooh yes indeedy!! Looks amazing, and what a concept!
I’m onboard too. Fingers crossed that they pull it off!
Uh… I don’t know. I like Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley, Mads Mikkelsen, David Oyelowo, and Cynthia Erivo but all that stuff around Holland’s head is distracting and it’s going to annoy the hell out of me. Plus, Nick Jonas… stop putting him in movies. He can’t act for shit. His music is shit as well and he’s a smug piece of shit.
I love most of the cast especially Mikkelsen. They alone make me anxious to see this. The concept is pretty intriguing as well.

Really? Not your cup of tea?
Tom & Jerry’s the only movie I’m gonna see in cinemas next year
I like the cast but this trailer looked….bad. And the fact that this was filmed in 2017 isn’t helping.
I’m pretty much excited for any Mads movie so I’m looking forward to it (but with fingers crossed!).
