The reason Josh Brolin almost quit Ridley Scott’s new movie

  • Josh Brolin initially wanted to quit Ridley Scott 's upcoming film, The Dog Stars, after being unnerved by Scott's unconventional, unrehearsed directing style during filming in Italy.
  • Brolin called his agent to express his desire to leave the project, but was advised to rest for a day.
  • His perspective shifted after Scott showed him footage of a dynamic scene he had filmed with co-star Jacob Elordi , which helped him understand the director's approach.
  • Brolin ultimately embraced the process, describing it as "stratospherically creative and dangerous," and found it one of his most creatively satisfying projects.
  • The Dog Stars , an apocalyptic drama about the aftermath of a deadly flu virus, is adapted from a 2012 novel by Peter Heller and is scheduled for release on August 28.
