Ridley Scott Back In Arena With ‘Gladiator II’ Star Paul Mescal On ‘The Dog Stars’ At 20th Century


Ridley Scott is set to direct 'Dogstas' for 20th Century

Sources said that they found a sweet spot for the busy actor to re-team with Scott, and that is why they’ve set this as their next collaboration, with the aim to shoot next spring after Mescal stars on Broadway in A Streetcar Named Desire. Though Scott and his cast have been engaged in an international tour of Gladiator II before its November 22 release, the iconic director has always had a knack for getting his next project in order once the previous one is finished. The scribe, best known for The Revenant, is coming off the hits Twisters, directed by Lee Isaac Chung and starring Glen Powell, and the George Clooney-directed adaptation of The Boys in the Boat.
