Lionsgate report they have acquired worldwide rights to the young adult novel trilogy "Chaos Walking", by author Patrick Ness, including "The Knife Of Letting Go", "The Ask and The Answer" and "Monsters Of Men".
Doug Davison ("The Departed") will produce through his Quadrant Pictures :"...set in a 'dystopian future' with humans colonizing a distant earth-like planet, an infection called the 'Noise' suddenly makes all thought audible. In the ensuing chaos, a corrupt autocrat threatens to take control of the human settlements and wage war with the indigenous alien race. Only 'Todd Hewitt' holds the key to stopping planet wide-destruction..."
"Although 'Chaos Walking' is set in a critical time in the future," said Alli Shearmur, Lionsgate's President of Motion Picture Production and Development, "they speak volumes about what is happening all over the world today. About the power of young people to challenge the status quo and change the course of our future."Click the images to enlarge...
