Overview
- 20th Century Studios, which premiered the first trailer and poster Thursday at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, released the trailer online soon after.
- The film opens exclusively in theaters on August 28, 2026, following a move from an earlier March window.
- Adapted from Peter Heller’s 2012 novel, the story follows Hig, a pilot who leaves an isolated homestead after a radio transmission hints that others may be alive.
- Jacob Elordi leads the cast with Josh Brolin and Margaret Qualley, alongside Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong, and Allison Janney, with Ridley Scott directing from a script by Mark L. Smith.
- Scott noted a rapid 34‑day shoot after production began in Italy in April 2025, and Jacob Elordi took the lead after Paul Mescal exited the project early last year.
