Very busy bee đ @Lilja K also what a cast
Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin & Guy Pearce Join Ridley Scottâs âThe Dog Starsâ â Shoots in April
Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin and Guy Pearce have joined the cast of Ridley Scottâs âThe Dog Stars,â with Jacob Elordi starring as the lead. Production is scheduled to begin at the end of April in Italy (via Deadline).
Thatâs a very attractive cast assembled by Scott. Pearce is coming off an Oscar nomination (âThe Brutalistâ). Brolin, a consummate actor, tends to be very picky with the roles he selects. Qualley is very hot these days, having recently starred in âThe Substance.â
Scottâs âDog Starsâ was supposed to have Paul Mescal in the lead role, but the actor had to drop out due to his commitment with Sam Mendesâ âBeatlesâ movies. Elordi soon after came in to replace him.
Scottâs upcoming adaptation of Peter Hellerâs acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel will have Elordi playing Hig, a widowed pilot and one of the few survivors in a world devastated by a global pandemic. Hig leads a solitary existence in an airplane hangar, with only his dog and a gruff gunman for company. His quiet life is suddenly disrupted when he intercepts a mysterious transmission on his Cessna radio, sparking a journey to uncover its origin.
Scott is directing a screenplay written by Mark L. Smith (âTwisters,â âThe Revenantâ). Elordi is also supposed to shoot the final season of HBOâs âEuphoriaâ and Warner Bros.â âWuthering Heightsâ in the spring â not sure how thatâs going to work out, but I bet heâll only be in a handful of âEuphoriaâ episodes.
