Daisy Ridley was the hero of the new "Star Wars" trilogy. Tom Holland was the Spider-Man of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But when their stars collided in an action sci-fi adaptation of a popular YA novel, everything that could go wrong did. "Chaos Walking" adapts "The Knife of Never Letting Go," the first book of Patrick Ness' "Chaos Walking" trilogy. Holland plays Todd Hewitt, a young kid who lives in a dystopian world without women and with constant, telepathic access to the universe's thoughts. But when Viola Eade (Ridley) crash-lands on their planet, the two must team up, escape persecution, and reveal unforeseen truths. Doug Liman directed the adaptation, and even in his history of difficult productions, "Chaos Walking" stands alone. They started shooting in 2017, got terrible test screenings, couldn't start reshoots until after Ridley and Holland were done filming "Rise of Skywalker" and "Far From Home," and eventually had said reshoots directed by Fede Álvarez. The resulting mess, finally released in 2021, is, in a word, chaotic. Why can't Daisy Ridley catch a break beyond "Star Wars"?
