Jacob Elordi in Talks to Replace Paul Mescal in Ridley Scott's 'The Dog Stars'

Paul Mescal's exit from the post-apocalyptic thriller is attributed to scheduling conflicts with Sam Mendes' Beatles biopic.

Jacob Elordi is negotiating to star in Ridley Scott's upcoming film 'The Dog Stars,' replacing Paul Mescal, who stepped away due to scheduling conflicts.
The film, based on Peter Heller's 2012 novel, follows a pilot and a gunman surviving a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a deadly flu pandemic.
Paul Mescal's departure is linked to his involvement in Sam Mendes' Beatles anthology, where he is rumored to portray Paul McCartney.
Ridley Scott plans to begin production on 'The Dog Stars' after completing a Bee Gees biopic for Paramount Pictures.
Elordi's packed schedule includes projects like the final season of HBO's 'Euphoria' and 'Wuthering Heights' alongside Margot Robbie, raising questions about potential production delays.
