Paul Mescal lands next lead movie role

BBG News

As a die-hard movie fan who has seen more films than I can count and spent countless hours analyzing performances, I must say that Paul Mescal‘s rise to stardom is nothing short of phenomenal! His versatility, from playing the troubled Connell in Normal People to the fearless Maximus Decimus Meridius’ son in Gladiator 2, has left me utterly spellbound.

Paul Mescal has landed his next movie role, teaming up with Ridley Scott again after Gladiator 2.

It has been reported that the actor known for roles in ‘Normal People’ and ‘All of Us Strangers’ is close to finalizing a deal to appear in ‘The Dog Stars’, which will be distributed by Disney’s 20th Century Studios.

In the not-too-distant future, I find myself immersed in a gripping tale that unfolds amidst a world teetering on the edge due to a catastrophic pandemic. My character is a pilot who makes his home within an airbase, sharing this isolated existence with an ex-marine and his loyal canine companion.

As an eager explorer, I get a mysterious transmission over my radio, sparking my curiosity and prompting me to climb aboard my trusty aircraft, ready to venture forth from our base, braving the unknown dangers that lie ahead.

The project is a film adaptation of the novel by Peter Heller with the same title. Screenwriter Mark L. Smith, known for his work in movies like ‘Twister’ and ‘The Revenant’, is responsible for the scriptwriting.

Filming is planned for the spring season, following Scott’s swift production schedules, once Mescal finishes his role in A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway. After that project is completed, Scott has a Bee Gees biopic ready to be filmed towards the end of next year.

Currently, Scott and Mescal are touring to promote “Gladiator II“, set to premiere within the next few days.

Prior to its official launch, some critics have been granted early access to share their first impressions.

The guidance provided by Scott has received acclaim, along with the acting of Mescal, but it seems Denzel Washington could outshine them all, making for an intriguing situation given the controversy surrounding his accent during the initial trailer releases.

Gladiator 2 will be released in UK cinemas on November 15 and in US cinemas on November 22.
