Article Summary

  • 20th Century Studios unveils the first trailer, poster, and images for Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars.
  • The Dog Stars adapts Peter Heller's bestseller into a post-apocalyptic survival thriller for the big screen.
  • The film follows Hig, a pilot seeking hope in a harsh world after a mysterious radio transmission changes everything.
  • The Dog Stars hits theaters exclusively on August 28, continuing 20th Century's strong August release strategy.

It premiered at CinemaCon, but 20th Century Studios didn't wait long to let everyone see Ridley Scott's new film. Scott has been all over the place in terms of quality for the last couple of years, but this adaptation of a best-selling book looks like something that not only has broad audience appeal, but also something that Scott could have a lot of fun with. The concept itself doesn't seem too off the wall, but execution is everything, and when you're working with someone like Scott, it's going to make all the difference. The first trailer, poster, and images have dropped, and this is another August release from 20th Century. They've been doing pretty well in August over the last couple of years with franchise IP (Alien: Romulus and Predator: Badlands). Now we need to see if they can make an original film work in August.

From visionary director Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars is a riveting, epic thriller set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice.
