Ridley Scott's 'The Dog Stars' Brings Major Ensemble Cast to Theaters This Summer

Ridley Scott's latest film venture is set to land in multiplexes this summer with an impressive lineup of talent attached.

The ambitious thriller arrives August 28 and draws inspiration from Peter Heller's bestselling novel of the same name. Scott's vision centers on a world where "survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice," according to the film's official description.

The project brings together Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Allison Janney, Benedict Wong, and Guy Pearce in leading roles. Mark L. Smith penned the screenplay adaptation from Heller's source material.

The narrative follows Hig, a young aviator portrayed by Elordi, who shares a remote and self-sufficient compound with Bangley, a military survival expert played by Brolin, in a devastated world. When Hig picks up an unidentified radio signal, he embarks on a perilous journey beyond their isolated sanctuary, driven by a desire to locate signs of hope and human connection.

Off-screen, Elordi has been generating headlines in his personal life. Dating speculation began circulating in April after the actor was photographed alongside Kendall Jenner at Coachella. The pair have subsequently been seen together in various locations, including Hawaii, and have been photographed on outings in Montecito.
