Josh Brolin Almost Quit ‘The Dog Stars’ on Day One

Josh Brolin revealed he nearly quit his role in Ridley Scott's upcoming film, 'The Dog Stars,' after just one day of shooting. The Oscar nominee explained that director Ridley Scott's intense approach "bugged me out" and made him want to leave the production. Brolin plays ex-Marine Bangley in the post-apocalyptic drama, which is set to premiere on August 28.

During an interview, Brolin described his initial experience on set, stating that Scott's directorial style was overwhelming. He recalled thinking, "I've Got To Get The F*ck Out Of Here" within the first day. Despite this initial strong reaction, Brolin ultimately stayed with the project and completed his role as Bangley.

'The Dog Stars' is based on the novel of the same name by Peter Heller. The film's plot follows Bangley as he navigates a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, relying on his dog and his survival skills. The film's premiere date is August 28, and Brolin's comments highlight the challenging creative environment that can exist even on high-profile film sets.
