New Releases: The Dog Stars

In a world gone quiet, one man goes looking for hope. This week, our members helped bring that world to life. 

The Dog Stars is in cinemas now — Ridley Scott's gripping post-apocalyptic survival thriller, following Hig, a young pilot who has carved out an isolated existence in a Colorado airplane hangar after a devastating pandemic wiped out most of humanity. When a mysterious radio transmission breaks through the silence, it sparks a desperate journey into the unknown — and the faint, fragile hope that something worth living for might still be out there.

Starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong and Allison Janney — directed by Ridley Scott from Peter Heller's acclaimed novel, and produced by Scott Free Productions for 20th Century Studios. Two Guild members were part of the team that brought this extraordinary production to screen: Emine Soydanyavas (Senior VFX Coordinator) and Jimmy McSparron (Health and Safety Advisor). Emine is also this week's Member in Focus — head to the newsletter to read her full interview.

One film. One of cinema's greatest directors. Two members of our community right at the heart of it. Congratulations to both — and we hope you're proud of what you've helped create.
