First Trailer: Ridley Scott’s “The Dog Stars”

20th Century Studios has premiered the first trailer for Ridley Scott’s new film “The Dog Stars” starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley and Guy Pearce.

An adaptation of Peter Heller’s acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel, Elordi stars as a widowed pilot named Hig who is one of the few survivors in a world devastated by a global pandemic.

Hig leads a solitary existence in an aeroplane hangar, with only his dog and a gruff gunman for company.

His quiet life is suddenly disrupted when he intercepts a mysterious transmission on his Cessna radio, sparking a journey to uncover its origin.

Brolin stars as Bangley, a gun expert not big on conversation or sharing about his past. Qualley is Cima, who spends her time doing subsistence farming and guarding against invaders.

Scott directs from a screenplay written by Mark L. Smith (“Twisters,” “The Revenant”), and a budget of over $100 million.

“The Dog Stars” is set to open in cinemas on August 28th.
