The official trailer for Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars reveals more of the world of the post-apocalyptic thriller, based on Peter Heller’s bestseller. The two-minute trailer warns that at the end of the world, it’s the survivors that you need to fear.
Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein, Euphoria) stars as Hig and Josh Brolin (Weapons) stars as Bangley. The epic thriller also features Margaret Qualley (The Substance), Allison Janney (Miss You, Love You), Benedict Wong (3 Body Problem), and Guy Pearce (The Brutalist).
“The film tells the story of Hig (Elordi), a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley (Brolin), has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world,” reads 20th Century Studios’ synopsis. “But when Hig receives a mysterious radio transmission, he ventures into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exist.”
Four-time Oscar nominee Ridley Scott (The Martian, Gladiator) directs, and Mark L. Smith adapted Heller’s novel. Producers include Scott, Smith, Michael Pruss, and Cliff Roberts. Lily Brooks-Dalton, Brandon Scott Smith, Peter Heller, and Aidan Elliott are the executive producers.
20th Century Studios will release The Dog Stars in theaters on August 28, 2026.
