According to a Friday press release from Lionsgate, Chaos Walking will finally be released in theaters on January 22, 2021. The feature film was originally intended to arrive in March 2019. However, this project faced a major setback in the spring of 2019 when we learned it had to undergo extensive reshoots. At the time, we reported initial cuts of Chaos Walking were deemed “unreleasable” because they were allegedly so poor in quality that at least three weeks of reshoots were needed to get the movie back on its feet. As such, the release date was pushed to 2020. It’s unclear why the release date has been pushed back even further but it’s a small victory it’s finally coming to theaters at all. Chaos Walking‘s production history has been anything but smooth; cameras first started rolling all the way back in 2017.
