Ridley Scott and Paul Mescal to Re-Team After ‘Gladiator II’ on ‘The Dog Stars’

As a seasoned cinephile with decades of film viewing under my belt and a particular fondness for apocalyptic thrillers, I must say that the upcoming collaboration between Ridley Scott and Paul Mescal on “The Dog Stars” has me genuinely intrigued. The fact that Scott is returning to the genre that brought us classics like “Blade Runner” and “Alien,” while Mescal demonstrates his versatility beyond the small screen, promises a captivating on-screen duo.


Excitedly speaking about upcoming cinematic ventures, I can’t help but express my anticipation as “Gladiator II” gears up for its release. Notably, the dynamic duo of Ridley Scott and Paul Mescal are already planning their next collaboration on a project titled “The Dog Stars.” Remarkably, Scott is set to direct this new production under 20th Century Studios, with Mescal in preliminary discussions to take on the lead role.

As I delve into the world of cinematic masterpieces, I’m thrilled to collaborate with Steve Asbell and the dynamic team at 20th Century Studios. The movie we’re bringing to life is a captivating adaptation by Mark L Smith from Peter Heller’s gripping apocalyptic novel. Alongside Cliff Roberts, my production company Scott Free is proudly producing this film.
