JONAS JOINS THE FILM ADAPTATION OF PATRICK NESS'S POST-APOCALYPTIC YA TRILOGY

By -




Nick Jonas has joined Spider-Man star Tom Holland and Star Wars heroine Daisy Ridleyin Doug Liman's film adaptation of Chaos Walking. The post-apocalyptic thriller is based on the best-selling YA trilogy from Patrick Ness.

After making his Sundance debut in last year's fraternity drama Goat and proving his comedic chops in the forthcoming blockbuster Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Jonas will turn to the dark side inChaos Walking as jealousy-driven antagonist Davy Prentiss Jr, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

For those unfamiliar with Chaos Walking, Davy Jr. is a young soldier, the son of the series' main antagonist Mayor Prentiss (played by Mads Mikkelson), and the longtime rival of protagonist Todd Hewitt (Holland). But there's more to Davy Jr. than meets the eye.

Chaos Walking takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where a virus has killed all of the women and inflicted the remaining men with Noise, a phenomenon that allows them to hear each other's every thought through a stream of images, words, and sounds. But when teenage Todd makes a startling discovery — a girl who lacks Noise (played by Ridley) — he realizes that she may be the key to unlocking their desolate society's many secrets.

Regardless of what happens, seeing Holland and Jonas go toe to toe on the big screen should be worth the price of admission alone. That, and seeing Daisy Ridley outside of space.

And that’s a scary thought. Progress certainly needs to be made to reduce attacks - be they sexual assault or robbery - but as that doesn’t look likely any time soon, learning self-defence is a wise move for women of all ages. Top British mixed martial artist Helen ‘Hellraiser’ Harper, who specialises in Jui Jitsu, believes all women should know more self-defence because it brings not only safety but confidence. “In my opinion, women don't have the confidence they should in life let alone in defence,” she told The Independent. “Learning to fend off an at
