A new trailer for Ridley Scott’s ‘The Dog Stars’ has dropped, showcasing explosive action amidst the somber reality of post-apocalypse living.
Ridley Scott‘s post-apocalyptic drama, The Dog Stars, is set to release this August. With that, 20th Century Studios has dropped a new trailer that features a bit more of the explosive action overshadowing the loss of what was once a normal life, before the world went to shit.
Based on the novel by Peter Heller, the film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world after a virus wipes out humanity. Survivors face roaming scavengers called Reapers. Protagonist Hig, a pilot, survived the flu but lost his wife.
While the film doesn’t look to be in the realm of horror, it does seem to deal with your average, post-apocalypse cannibals, so that’s a start for genre fans. Not to mention, it just looks good. And it’s Ridley Scott (Alien) going full on Mad Max, with one hell of a cast, so fingers crossed.
Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Margaret Qualley (The Substance) and Josh Brolin (Planet Terror) star.
Mark L. Smith (Overlord) wrote the script.
The Dog Stars arrives in theaters August 28th via 20th Century Studios.
