Think of Ridley Scott, and you’ll automatically conjure up some of cinema’s greatest and best films of all time. The list is endless, from The Duellists and Alien. It also includes the superb science fiction classic Blade Runner. Furthermore, the thrilling Someone To Watch Over Me and Black Rain are part of his filmography. The incredible Thelma & Louise and the Oscar-winning Gladiator are also on the list. And even Napoleon and the sequel Gladiator II, plus his return to the Alien universe with Prometheus. Not only those, but Alien: Covenant and the brilliant The Martian can be included too. No matter which way you look at it, his films are almost always potential Oscar-winners. And now he’s back.
Last night at its annual CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, 20th Century Studios revealed the first trailer and poster for Scott’s “The Dog Stars,” a riveting, epic thriller set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice. Scott tells the story of Hig, a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley, has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world until a mysterious radio transmission spurs Hig to venture into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exists. Get your first look below.
THE PREMISE
Set after a devastating flu pandemic that has almost eradicated humanity, the film centers on Hig, a former civilian pilot, and Bangley, a hardened ex-Marine, as they confront outside threats and hold onto the possibility of a better life beyond where they currently live.
