20th Century Studios\u2019 \u201cThe Last Duel,\u201d a gripping tale of betrayal and vengeance set against the brutality of 14th century France directed by visionary filmmaker and four-time Academy Award\u00ae nominee Ridley Scott (\u201cThe Martian,\u201d \u201cBlack Hawk Down,\u201d \u201cGladiator,\u201d \u201cThelma & Louise\u201d), opens in theaters nationwide October 15, 2021. The trailer and teaser poster for the film are available now.<\/p>
The historical epic is a cinematic and thought-provoking drama set in the midst of the Hundred Years War that explores the ubiquitous power of men, the frailty of justice and the strength and courage of one woman willing to stand alone in the service of truth. Based on actual events, the film unravels long-held assumptions about France\u2019s last sanctioned duel between Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris, two friends turned bitter rivals. Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield. Le Gris is a Norman squire whose intelligence and eloquence make him one of the most admired nobles in court. When Carrouges\u2019 wife, Marguerite, is viciously assaulted by Le Gris, a charge he denies, she refuses to stay silent, stepping forward to accuse her attacker, an act of bravery and defiance that puts her life in jeopardy. The ensuing trial by combat, a grueling duel to the death, places the fate of all three in God\u2019s hands.<\/p>
Oscar\u00ae winner Matt Damon (\u201cGood Will Hunting,\u201d \u201cFord v Ferrari\u201d) is Jean de Carrouges, two-time Academy Award\u00ae nominee Adam Driver (\u201cMarriage Story,\u201d \u201cBlacKkKlansman\u201d) is Jacques Le Gris, Emmy\u00ae winner Jodie Comer (\u201cKilling Eve,\u201d \u201cFree Guy\u201d) is Marguerite de Carrouges and two-time Oscar winner Ben Affleck (\u201cArgo,\u201d \u201cGood Will Hunting\u201d) is Count Pierre d\u2019Alen\u00e7on. The screenplay is by Oscar nominee Nicole Holofcener (\u201cCan You Ever Forgive Me?\u201d) & Ben Affleck & Matt Damon based on the book by Eric Jager. The film is produced by Ridley Scott, Kevin J. Walsh (\u201cManchester by the Sea\u201d), Jennifer Fox (\u201cNightcrawler\u201d), Nicole Holofcener, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck with Kevin Halloran (\u201cFord v Ferrari\u201d), Drew Vinton (\u201cPromised Land\u201d), Madison Ainley (\u201cJustice League\u201d) serving as executive producers.<\/p>
\u201cThe Last Duel\u201d is based on Eric Jager\u2019s book The Last Duel: A True Story of Crime, Scandal, and Trial by Combat in Medieval France, which brings the turbulent Middle Ages to life in striking detail. When etiquette, social aspirations and justice were driven by the codes of chivalry, the consequences for defying the institutions of the time \u2013 the Church, the nobility at court, a teenage king \u2013 could be severe. For a woman navigating these violent times, one who had no legal standing without the support of her husband, the stakes were even higher.<\/p>
The Last Duel opens in U.S. theaters October 15, 2021.<\/p>
