Lionsgate has released an official synopsis for the upcoming adaptation of Patrick Ness’ YA novel series Chaos Walking. Directed by Doug Liman, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi is set to star Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland; take a look at the synopsis below…
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.
Chaos Walking is set for release on March 1st 2019.
