From visionary director Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner), The Dog Stars will soar into theaters on August 28, 2026 via 20th Century Studios.
Based on the 2012 novel by Peter Heller, the post-apocalyptic thriller is written by Mark L. Smith (The Revenant, Twisters).
Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Josh Brolin (Weapons), Guy Pearce (Prometheus), Margaret Qualley (The Substance), and Benedict Wong (Weapons) star.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world, a virus wipes out humanity and survivors face roaming scavengers called Reapers. The story centers on Hig (Elordi), a civilian pilot who lost his wife to the disease.
Hig lives a lonely life on an abandoned Colorado airbase with his dog and a tough ex-marine (Brolin). The two men couldn’t be more mismatched but depend on each other to fend off Reapers.
When a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside the pilot that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, Hig flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail.
Raised by wolves was pure gold
The fact that we'll never get the rest of Raised By Wolves is a fucking tragedy. Easily one of the most weird and inventive new IPs we've gotten in years. I have no idea if they were going to stick the landing - big danger that it could have ended up as another Lost - but god did I want to see them try.
I, maybe naively, hope we'll get some novels or a cartoon or just SOMETHING to tie it off.
It desparately needs a proper novelization. And I normally hate novelizations.
