It’s been a year since we went into lockdown and while things are slowly beginning to change with the release of the vaccine, many things remain the same, such as how we (don’t) socialize, which, as it has since the beginning, includes movie-going.

For a sci-fi dystopian thriller about dark secrets and not being able to conceal your inner-most thoughts—and hide, you know, secrets— Lionsgate’s “Chaos Walking” is extremely uninspired and even unimaginative.

The drama surrounding Doug Liman’s upcoming film “Chaos Walking” might actually be more interesting than the finished product. The film, which stars Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley (could you get a better duo of young actors to lead a new YA franchise?), has been the source of a ton of behind-the-scenes reports, including the most recent news that the reshoots, which are currently underway, are the result of the studio being very displeased with the first cut.

Both are young actors who have seen their careers ascend at a phenomenal pace thanks to their latest blockbuster roles, and if things go according to plan, they’ll have yet another franchise if this picture does well.

While Daisy Ridley recently quit Instagram because the internet is a horrible place, in the grand scheme of things it’s no big deal, because she’s got plenty to keep her busy. Of course, there’s “Star Wars,” but the actress of late has been busy finding things to do that don’t involve battling the Dark Side. She’s signed up to star in the fantasy “Kolma,” the wartime tale “The Lost Wife,” and Shakespeare flick “Ophelia.” But she’s not leaving franchise work totally behind.
