Jacob Elordi IS Hig in Ridley Scott’s post-apocalyptic thriller ‘The Dog Stars’
Pandemic movie, in case you wanted to relieve that shit. Based on the 2012 novel by Peter Heller.
[quote]Set in a near future where an unnamed pandemic has decimated American society, The Dog Stars will have Elordi playing Hig, a civilian pilot living 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.

Dog Star - isn't that the band Keanu Reeves is in?

Thank god we have Australian and British and African actors to play Americans. After all, there are no American actors at all, and someone’s got to play us, amirite?

We need many highly-qualified foreign actors to be underpaid for American jobs.

This should've been Coop Koch's big breakout role!

R4 It makes no sense.
The populations of England (54 million), Canada (40 million), Australia (26 million), Scotland (5.4 million), Ireland (5.2 million) Wales (3 million), Northern Ireland (2 million) COMBINED (135.6 million) does not even equal half of the US (334 million).
Not to mention, the US has some of the best acting schools.
It makes no sense for unpatriotic liberal Hollywood to look elsewhere for actors to play Americans.
Ever since they became "woke" in the past 15 years, they've been discriminating against American actors.
It's time for conservatives to take back control and put Americans first.
I see it happening by decade's end.
Americans are getting sick of foreigners playing them and foreigners in general.

England has better acting schools, so you get better actors than in the US and for less money. But your point stands for all other English-speaking countries – the only reason to hire those actors is because they come cheaper.
I admit this has never bothered me that much, but it did piss me off the other day when I read that that Russian actor from Anora will now be the lead in the second season of Mr and Mrs Smith. How the fuck does *that* happen?

This is basically Damnation Alley without the Alley.

Variety is reporting that this was Paul Mescal's role originally. We really just have three or four male lead actors, don't we?

r6 They'd only cast Chalamet or Austin Butler and you know it.

R8 not to mention, each one of those countries has their own TV/film industries.

R8 Hollywood is a global industry you rancid cunt. Not to mention many acclaimed filmmakers are foreign thus foreign sensibilities, circle of friends etc. But more importantly the acting talent pool is global.

It makes sense that they replaced Mescal with Elordi since I figured both for the Spectrum.
Ten to one this is who the costar will be.

The appeal of Elordi eludes me.
