Director Ridley Scott's new film 'Dog Star: The Last Hope' has been confirmed for release in the second half of 2026.

On the 17th, Walt Disney Company Korea announced the release of 'Dog Star: The Last Hope' and unveiled a teaser poster and teaser trailer.

The film 'Dog Star: The Last Hope' is based on Peter Heller's novel 'Dog Star'. The novel 'Dog Star' received critical acclaim at the time of its publication and was selected as the book of the year by various media outlets, offering solace to today's despair through moments that shine once again at the end of hopelessness. Based on the original work's sentiment that delicately captures emotions beyond survival and longing for humanity, the film 'Dog Star: The Last Hope' aims to convey a profound story about loss, hope, and relationships that continue, going beyond the simple post-apocalyptic genre.

The released teaser poster features Higgs (played by Jacob Elordi) and Bangley (played by Josh Brolin), who look in different directions against the backdrop of a ruined city. The tense expression of Higgs, holding a gun and appearing on guard, contrasts with Bangley's intense gaze, sparking curiosity about the relationship and emotions of those who survived in extreme circumstances. Additionally, the presence of the pet dog Jasper serves as a symbol of connection and hope that continues even in a harsh world, adding an emotional resonance. Furthermore, the tagline "The End of the World, and Everything Began" hints at another story that truly begins after everything has ended, further raising expectations for the work.

The simultaneously released teaser trailer drew attention by showing how Higgs's life changed before and after civilization collapsed due to a virus that swept across humanity.

The film 'Dog Star: The Last Hope' is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026.
