The trailer for director Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars has arrived.
20th Century Studios released the official trailer for the upcoming film, which stars Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin. The film is based on Peter Heller’s bestselling book. It’s described as “a riveting, epic thriller set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice,” according to the studio.
Elordi plays Hig in the film, “a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley (Brolin), has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world,” according to an official description. “But when Hig receives a mysterious radio transmission, he ventures into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exist.”
Alongside Elordi and Brolin, the film stars Margaret Qualley, Allison Janney, Benedict Wong and Guy Pearce.
The trailer finds Elordi’s Hig speaking with Qualley’s character.
“So what did you do before the world ended?” she asks him.
“I was kissing my wife, playing with my dog, and wondering every day how I got so lucky,” he says.
Mark L. Smith adapted the film’s screenplay from Heller’s novel. Heller executive produces while Scott produces the movie.
The Dog Stars arrives in theaters on Aug. 28.

Chadwick Boseman’s brothers Derrick Boseman and Kevin Boseman have asked a Los Angeles court to remove their late brother’s widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, as administrator of his estate, according to a petition filed last week filed on behalf of their parents.
In the petition, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, Derrick Boseman and Kevin Boseman allege that following the Oscar nominee’s death in 2020, Ledward, who inherited 50% of her late husband’s estate and was appointed as administrator, “never fully distributed” the remaining 50% of his estate, despite a 2022 probate order requiring her to do so.
According to the petition, because Chadwick Boseman did not leave behind a will when he died, 50% of his estate passed to Ledward, while his parents Leroy Boseman and Carolyn Boseman inherited 25% each.
A Los Angeles court ordered Ledward to distribute the remaining half of the actor’s estate to his parents on Oct. 4, 2022.
“Nearly four years later,” the brothers allege, “Respondent has still not distributed the estate, nor has she filed a petition for discharge with receipts as required … instead, Respondent continues to exert unilateral control over Decedent’s estate, denying Decedent’s family long overdue closure or participation in decision-making regarding matters affecting Leroy and Carolyn’s interests in Decedent’s estate.”
The brothers allege that this has caused “ongoing harm” to their parents.
“By failing to distribute Decedent’s estate, Respondent deprives Leroy and Carolyn of financial assets at a vulnerable age when such support is most critical,” they allege. “Moreover, the needless continuation of these proceedings denies Decedent’s family closure and causes emotional distress.”
The petition asks the court to compel Ledward to show why she shouldn’t be held in contempt of court for failing to comply with the 2022 order and to compel her to fully distribute as required her late husband’s assets, which include “royalties and residuals, image and intellectual property rights, real property, a previously undisclosed bank account at CNB, and other personal property.”
The brothers also requested that Ledward be removed as estate administrator and replaced by a private professional fiduciary and forensic accountant, in order to investigate any alleged estate mismanagement and “any unaccounted-for assets.”
The petition additionally asks the court to require Ledward to provide a complete accounting of estate assets, including SAG-AFTRA residuals and royalties, arguing that the family would be unable to determine whether everything has been properly distributed without those records.
ABC News has reached out to representatives for Ledward and Derrick Boseman and Kevin Boseman for comment.
Chadwick Boseman, known for his role as King T’Challa in Black Panther and films like 42, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and more, died Aug. 28, 2020, at the age of 43, following a private battle with colon cancer.

X-Men actor Tyler Mane has revealed that he has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Mane, best known for playing Sabretooth in X-Men as well as in Deadpool & Wolverine, shared his diagnosis Tuesday in a video on social media.
“I have some bad news. I start chemotherapy today,” Mane said, adding in the video’s caption that he was diagnosed with breast cancer, calling it “super rare.”
Mane did not share further details about his diagnosis or treatment.
ABC News has reached out to the actor for comment.
In his post, Mane said he hopes to raise awareness about breast cancer in men, saying that he “wants to change” the reality that the condition is “rarely talked about.”
In the United States, around one out of every 100 breast cancer diagnoses is found in a man, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Like a woman, a man’s risk of breast cancer is increased if they have either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.
Other risk factors for breast cancer in men include being over the age of 50, a family history of breast cancer, obesity, exposure to hormone and radiation therapy treatments, liver disease and certain conditions that affect the testicles, according to the CDC.
There are currently no screening recommendations for breast cancer screening in men.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women between ages 40 and 74 who are at average risk for breast cancer get a mammogram every two years.
The symptoms of breast cancer in men include abnormalities around the breast area, including a lump or swelling, redness or flaky skin, nipple discharge and pain in the nipple area, according to the CDC.
