The future is looking brighter again.
Actor Jacob Elordi is currently discussing terms for his role in director Ridley Scott’s upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller, “The Dog Stars,” produced by 20th Century Studios. Paul Mescal was initially set to star but had to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts with another project – a sequel to the film “Gladiator.” As a result, Elordi is stepping into the role of a character in a story about a devastating flu pandemic that decimates most of humanity.
According to the 2012 novel “Dog Stars” by Peter Heller, the screenplay for this movie was penned by Mark L. Smith and Christopher Wilkinson. If Scott’s deal with Paramount for a Bee Gees biopic goes through as anticipated, this would be his next project. In this film, Elordi is slated to portray a character named Hig, who forms an alliance with a gruff gunman. Together, they aim to survive against a group of marauding scavengers known as the Reapers.
In a December chat with acclaimed director Christopher Nolan after watching a screening of “Gladiator II,” I shared some intriguing news about our cast member, Paul Mescal. “It seems Paul has quite the schedule ahead, as he’s set to portray John Lennon’s bandmate, Paul McCartney, in an upcoming project,” I confided to Chris. “Given this commitment, I might need to reconsider his role here.” (Rumors swirl that Mescal is slated to take on the part of Paul McCartney.)
However, it’s worth noting that Elordi’s calendar is quite full as well. He’s scheduled to work on the final season of “Euphoria” on HBO and the film “Wuthering Heights” with Margot Robbie for Warner Bros., both slated to begin production in early 2025. Scott’s project might also start around spring 2025, leaving us uncertain as to whether any of these productions will need to be postponed to accommodate Elordi for “Dog Stars.
Working alongside Scott is another incredible opportunity for me, a movie enthusiast, to collaborate with top-tier directors. As an Australian actor who first gained recognition through my role in “The Kissing Booth” on Netflix, I’ve recently had the privilege of portraying Elvis in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla,” and I’m set to bring the monster to life in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming film, “Frankenstein.
Elordi is repped by Gersh and the law firm Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher.
