Ridley Scott’s 157-Minute ‘Gladiator’ Replacement Officially Gets a Second Chance on Apple TV

Based on the sci-fi novel of the same name by Peter Heller, there was plenty of hope heading into Ridley Scott‘s adaptation of The Dog Stars, as one of the genre’s most creative minds took on an acclaimed story. Not only that, but he had assembled a strong cast for the adaptation, including Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, and Guy Pearce. Alas, as has been the case with a lot of modern Scott movies, The Dog Stars was far from the hits of the director’s old filmography.
