According to reporting by Deadline, Paul is eying a starring role in Ridley‘s next movie The Dog Stars, and they’re expected to enter production in early 2025.
The Dog Stars is based on Peter Heller‘s novel of the same name.
Here’s a synopsis: “The Dog Stars is set in a near future where an unnamed pandemic has decimated American society. A civilian pilot lives a lonely life on an abandoned Colorado airbase with his dog and a tough ex-marine. The two men couldn’t be more mismatched but depend on each other to fend off roaming invaders. When a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside the pilot that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail.”
Gladiator II arrives in theaters on November 22 alongside Wicked. Check out the latest trailer.
