Ridley Scott’s next film is almost here. 20th Century Studios has released the final trailer for The Dog Stars, giving audiences one last extended look at the legendary director’s post-apocalyptic drama before it lands in theaters this August.
One Last Look At The Dog Stars
Based on Peter Heller’s beloved 2012 novel, The Dog Stars follows a survivor of a devastating pandemic who lives at a small Colorado airfield with his dog and a gruff, well-armed companion, until a mysterious radio transmission pushes him to venture beyond the safety of his perimeter in search of what might be left of the world. The final trailer, spotlighted by LaughingPlace, leans into the story’s mix of desolation and stubborn hope, a more contemplative register than Scott’s recent large-scale epics.
Ridley Scott Keeps The Pace Up At 20th Century
The Dog Stars continues Scott’s remarkably prolific late-career run and deepens his ongoing relationship with 20th Century Studios, the Disney-owned banner behind his recent output. At 88, the filmmaker shows no signs of slowing down, with multiple projects in various stages of development even as this one arrives in theaters. An August release gives the film room to breathe between the summer blockbuster crush and the fall festival corridor.
The Dog Stars is one of several big swings on the 20th Century slate this year, joining an increasingly ambitious lineup at Disney’s film studios, which recently became the first studio of 2026 to cross three billion dollars at the worldwide box office.
