According to a new report by The Wall Street Journal, Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley’s upcoming film Chaos Walking is undergoing major reshoots after being deemed “unreleasable.”
Spider-Man actor Tom Holland is set to team-up with Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley in a new film titled Chaos Walking, but the high-profile project has been experiencing some behind-the-scenes drama that included Lionsgate announcing it will not make its original release date of March 2019. Now, Chaos Walking is in the midst of extensive re-shoots after the initial cut of the Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley film was deemed “unreleasable,” according to a Wall Street Journal source:
“[The first cut of Chaos Walking] turned out so poorly that it was deemed unreleasable by executives who watched initial cuts last year, according to current and former employees.”
In addition to Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley, Chaos Walking stars Mads Mikkelsen, Nick Jonas, and David Oyelowo. The project is helmed by Doug Liman, the director of Edge of Tomorrow, from a script co-written by Charlie Kaufman, Jamie Linden, Patrick Ness, Lindsey Beer, Gary Spinelli, and John Lee Hancock. The budget for Chaos Walking is reportedly over $100 million now with reshoots.
Fortunately for Tom Holland, Spider-Man: Far From Home is still scheduled to be released in theaters on July 2, 2019. Here is the official synopsis:
Peter Parker returns in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the next chapter of the Spider-Man: Homecoming series! Our friendly neighborhood Super Hero decides to join his best friends Ned, MJ, and the rest of the gang on a European vacation. However, Peter’s plan to leave super heroics behind for a few weeks are quickly scrapped when he begrudgingly agrees to help Nick Fury uncover the mystery of several elemental creature attacks, creating havoc across the continent!
Meanwhile, Daisy Ridley will return as Rey when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters in December.
