You&#8217;ve got a perfect storm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Ridley Scott&#8217;s new movie for 20th Century Studios, &#8220;The Dog Stars,&#8221; offers the legendary director &#8220;something I haven&#8217;t done before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;The Dog Stars&#8221; follows a group of survivors living in a post-apocalyptic world after a virus wipes out humanity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">In a new featurette for the film, Scott shares, &#8220;&#8216;The Dog Stars&#8217; is about the world&#8217;s end. The scope of this film is tailored for the big screen. There&#8217;s nothing like it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">He also praises his cast. &#8220;I cast intuitively. I never questioned Jacob and Josh, with Margaret and Guy Pearce. They&#8217;re absolutely born for this,&#8221; Scott said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Jacob Elordi, who plays pilot Hig, explains, &#8220;Hig has this feeling inside of him that there&#8217;s something else out there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;He&#8217;s a survivor despite having gone through true horror. He gives her a great deal of hope,&#8221; Elordi&#8217;s co-star Margaret Qualley shared about Hig&#8217;s relationship with her character, Cima.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Josh Brolin (Bangley) opens up about his role as well, &#8220;My character Bangley is more hyper present. The threat is always right around the corner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Cast members also include Guy Pearce, Allison Janney and Benedict Wong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Watch the terror unfold in the sci-fi action movie &#8220;The Dog Stars,&#8221; in theaters Aug. 28.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \"><em class=\" \">The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of 20th Century Studios and this ABC station.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 OnTheRedCarpet.com.
