Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley Sci-Fi Thriller CHAOS WALKING to Begin Shooting

Spider-Man and Rey are teaming up for a new zombie movie Chaos Walking directed by The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow's Doug LimanDaisy Ridley, coming fresh off of The Last Jedi, is joined by Tom Holland, who stars in Spider-Man Homecoming, in the Sci-Fi drama based on the book series Chaos Walking.

Variety gives a pretty detailed description of the plot:

"The film centers on Todd Hewitt (Holland), who lives in Prentisstown, 'seemingly the last settlement on the distant, rugged planet of New World,' according to a statement. The village was colonized 'a generation earlier by settlers from Earth seeking a better life, [but] has been reduced to a population of only men after a brutal war with New World’s indigenous alien race, the Spackle.
Before losing the war, the Spackle released a virus that “infected the men with a plague they now call ‘The Noise’: a visual, background jabber that literally portrays each man’s thoughts and feelings for all to see.
Todd is taken under the wing of the sly Mayor Prentiss, who has “the mysterious ability to control his own ‘Noise’. But that relationship is put to the test when Todd discovers an unsettling ‘silence’ in the surrounding forest and finds the last thing he ever expected: a woman named Viola [Ridley].”

The movie sounds a bit like a cross between Aliens, Scanners and a little Mad Max. The book's author took to twitter to announce that this film will officially begin shooting this summer. So far there is no set release date, but we could see it in theaters as soon as mid to late 2018.
