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


"Gladiator II" director Ridley Scott and star Paul Mescal are set to re-team on "The Dog Stars" for 20th Century.

Scott will work with Steve Asbell and the 20th Century Studios team to bring the film, adapted by Mark L Smith from Peter Heller’s apocalyptic thriller, to life. The film follows a civilian pilot lives a lonely life on an abandoned Colorado airbase with his dog and a tough ex-marine, in a near future where an unnamed pandemic has decimated American society. When a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside the pilot that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter.
