Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars Debuts Disney+ ‘Special Look’ Ahead of Big‑Screen Release

The studio is pressing an IMAX and premium‑format strategy to foreground the film’s visual scope and drive attendance before its late‑August theatrical opening.

Overview

  • Disney+ has posted a branded “special look” preview that offers behind‑the‑scenes footage and highlights Ridley Scott’s creative vision for The Dog Stars.
  • Tickets are now on sale with explicit IMAX and premium‑format listings as the marketing push prioritizes large‑format presentations.
  • The film is a 20th Century Studios adaptation of Peter Heller’s novel directed by Ridley Scott and stars Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce and Allison Janney.
  • The story follows Hig, played by Jacob Elordi, as he searches for other survivors after a devastating influenza pandemic without revealing plot twists or endings.
  • After festival and trailer rollouts earlier this year, the campaign has entered a final weeks push that spotlights the Dolomites‑shot cinematography and could strain premium‑screen availability for the August 28 theatrical launch.
