Jacob Elordi in Talks to Replace Paul Mescal in Ridley Scott’s ‘The Dog Stars’ (EXCLUSIVE)
The 'Euphoria' star will step into the post-apocalyptic thriller for Mescal, who was forced to drop out due to filming Sam Mendes' Beatles anthology.
Based on a 2012 novel by Peter Heller, the “Dog Stars” screenplay was written by Mark L. Smith (“Twisters”) and Christopher Wilkinson (“Ali”) and is expected to be Scott’s next film after a Bee Gees biopic for Paramount. If his deal closes, as is expected, Elordi would play a pilot named Hig who befriends a cranky gunman as they try to outlast a roaming band of scavengers called Reapers. The Australian actor, whose breakout role was in the Netflix movie “The Kissing Booth,” recently starred as Elvis in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” and plays the titular monster in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming “Frankenstein.”
