Ridley Scott’s film adaptation of Peter Heller’s novel, “The Dog Stars,” releases its final trailer, introducing more footage from the dystopian story. The movie stars Jacob Elordi as Hig, a pilot who navigates a devastated world in search of an answer to a mysterious radio transmission, while living with a small group of survivors in a fragile enclave. Josh Brolin plays a hardened ex-marine, and the trailer emphasizes the routines and rules that survivors follow to manage threats in an unknown, post-pandemic landscape. Deadline also highlights Elordi’s character reminiscing about life before the world ended, including personal moments such as kissing his wife and playing with his dog. Across the sources, the trailer portrays survivors traveling through ravaged terrain and facing dangers that include hostile groups, as they weigh the possibility of finding a safer place beyond their current refuge. The film is scheduled to open in theaters worldwide in late August, with Deadline listing a U.S. release date of August 28. The cast also includes Margaret Qualley, with Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong, and Allison Janney in additional roles.
