Ridley Scott takes audiences head-first into a post-apocalyptic sci-fi rush with ‘The Dog Stars’
Anytime we see that Sir Ridley Scott is back behind the camera once more we get tremendous feeling of excitement, and now he’s ready to return to a genre he helped define with his science-fiction, post-apocalyptic action romp The Dog Stars, and this is a picture that’s going to pack in a heap of intensity and some really moving character moments, and now we have the arrival of a brand new trailer to celebrate it.
Check out the all-new trailer for The Dog Stars below:
Here’s the official synopsis:
The film tells the story of Hig (Jacob Elordi), a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley (Josh Brolin), has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. But when Hig receives a mysterious radio transmission, he ventures into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exist.
Building off of the original teaser trailer, this new trailer for The Dog Stars delivers an elevated view of its scary world, along with focusing in on the broken psyche of its lead protagonist Hig (Jacon Elordi), a skilled pilot and survivor who is desperate for a chance to escape, and might have found a way to salvation.
Jacob Elordi is truly the man of the moment, and it’s exciting to see him join Sir Ridley Scott for The Dog Stars, and he brings a certain Steve McQueen presence to the role of Hig, and is joined by a stellar supporting cast including the likes of Josh Brolin as Bangley, an aloof, gun-toting ex-Marine and Hig’s companion; Margaret Qualley as Cima, a young medic and Hig’s love interest, and Guy Pearce as Pops, a former Navy SEAL and Cima’s father.
The action is ramped right the way up as well, and The Dog Stars goes hard on its exploration of its science-fiction, post-apocalyptic world, and Scott gives the action is certain gritty feralness that will keep audiences on edge the whole way through.
There’s a lot to be excited about with The Dog Stars, and this is an action rollercoaster that will pin you back in your seat as it takes off on August 27.
