\nRidley Scott is back! The visionary filmmaker\u2019s latest feature The Dog Stars<\/em> hits theaters globally on Aug. 28. and early social media reaction suggests the post-apocalyptic\u00a0sci-fi film has plenty of Scott\u2019s visual flair but feelings were mixed over the script. <\/p>\n

\nThe Dog Stars<\/em> held its world premiere in London on Aug. 20 and 20th Century Studios held a series of press screenings for the film <\/em>over the last week. Attendees were allowed to post brief reactions on social media after screenings. Full critics reviews for the film are embargoed till Aug. 25. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe feature has an all-star cast, including Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Alison Janney, Guy Pearce and Benedict Wong and is based on the 2012 novel by Peter Heller. The Dog Stars<\/em> is set in a time after a flu pandemic has wiped out most of humanity and tells the story of a former civlian pilot named Hig (Elordi) and his ex-Marine companion Bangley (Brolin) as they try to survive the dangers of a fallen world. <\/p>\n

\nThe Dog Stars<\/em> is the prolific Scott\u2019s next film after 2024\u2019s Gladiator II<\/em>, and also follows Napoleon<\/em> (2023), House of Gucci<\/em> (2021) and The Last Duel <\/em>(2021) as the 88-year-old British auteur\u2019s other films in the 2020s.
