The Last Duel

 New ‘The Last Duel’ Poster Focuses on Ridley Scott’s Incredible Cast 'The Last Duel' comes to theaters on October 15th. 20th Century Studios has revealed a new poster for Ridley Scott's medieval epic The Last Duel, which is less than three weeks away from coming exclusively to theaters on October 15. As you'd expect from a hard-hitting drama that might prove to be a tough sell to audiences still unconvinced about heading back to multiplexes in their droves, the main focus of the one-sheet is the star-powered central quartet. The Last Duel certainly boasts plenty of fantastic talent, as can be seen in the poster. In addition to Academy Award-winning director Scott, two-time Oscar winner Ben Affleck stars as Count Pierre d'Alençon, and he co-wrote the script with Matt Damon in their first writing collaboration since Good Will Hunting, for which they both won an Academy Award. Damon plays Jean de Carrouges, who vows to defend the honor of his wife Marguerite de Thibou

  Who Are the Characters in The Last Duel? In The Last Duel, Matt Damon plays Jean de Carrouges. A knight with estates in Normandy, Carrouges is one of the men who take part in the historic duel that this story revolves around. Harriet Walter plays Nicole de Buchard, Carrouges’ mother. Adam Driver plays Jacques Le Gris, the other party in the duel. Le Gris was Carrouges’ friend until he is accused of raping Carrouges’ wife, Marguerite. He then continues to claim innocence, even when faced with the possibility of death during trial by combat. Jodie Comer appears as Marguerite de Carrouges, the woman at the heart of The Last Duel. Marguerite accuses Jacques Le Gris of raping her but because there are no other witnesses, she is in turn accused of bearing false witness and making baseless claims. While her husband sees the duel as the best way to get justice, her life is also on the line, just as much as his. Nathaniel Parker plays Marguerite’s father, Sir Robert de Thibouville. Sam Hazeld

 ‘The Last Duel’ Review: Forget the Bad Hair, Ridley Scott’s Epic Is Heir to a Tradition of Movies for Adults Venice: A film that's all too rare on the current field of Hollywood battle, Ridley Scott's medieval epic more than survives its ghastly hairpieces Keeping true to its title in function and form, “The Last Duel” is at constant odds with itself. Alongside meticulous recreations of the late middle ages and a few of the worst hairdos ever put on screen, Ridley Scott’s lavish historical drama offers 152 minutes of dialectical tension, mirroring its climactic battle nearly beat for beat as different versions of what this film could be fight it out until only one remains standing. And like any knockdown, drag-out melee that begins with a joust and ends in the mud, this push and pull between earnest epic and winking revision can be a bit of a mess for those in the ring and great fun for those in the stands. The contradictions arrive right from the start, galloping into the fra

 ‘The Last Duel’ Review: Matt Damon and Adam Driver in Ridley Scott’s Intriguing but Overcooked Medieval Soap Opera The two stars play 14th-century French royal soldiers in a tale of romance and political treachery that gets told three times, from three points-of-view. Maybe once would have been enough. Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel” is set in France in the late 1300s, and after a clangingly violent early battle scene, as well as a flashforward to the title duel, in which a pair of sworn rivals in heavy armor come at each other on horseback, each brandishing his lance a lot (sorry, I couldn’t resist), the film looks like it might be a swords-and-blood-in-the-mud movie: one of those flashy brutal period spectaculars which Scott, the director of “Gladiator” and “The Duellists,” seems ideally suited to. But no. Despite a brief action interlude here or there, “The Last Duel” turns out to be a lavishly convoluted and, at times, rather interesting medieval soap opera. Written by the unlikely
