to star in the film. The script is almost done, written by Damon, Affleck and Nicole Holofcener. This is happening quickly and would be the first collaboration on a script between Damon and Affleck to get made since their Oscar winning work on Good Will Hunting.
Scott and Kevin Walsh are producing for Scott Free and Damon and Affleck are producing through their Pearl Street banner. The book has been at Fox for some time, and it will be interesting to see if it fits the template of Disney, which controls the script after acquiring Fox.
It’s a revenge story of two best friends. Damon and Affleck will play them. The main characters are the Norman knight Jean de Carrouges and the squire Jacques Le Gris. They were friends. One goes to war and returns to accuse Le Gris of raping his wife Margerite de Carrouges. No one will believe the woman, and the soldier appeals to the king of France to undo a decision handed down by Count Pierre d’Anencon, which favored Le Gris.
This is getting around quickly because Damon was photographed by Yahoo carrying a script. Now you know what it’s all about. There truly are no secrets anymore.The Duellists
Excited!! Love Gladiator
Looking forward to it
better not be MattDamon dueling against his Bro BenAffleck ?
Man Affleck is a shitty actor
When you see a story about Matt Damon and 'The Last Duel' and think he's bringing his faux battle with Jimmy Kimmel to the big screen...🤤🙃
Boo!!!!!! Ben' s movies be very good without Demon! WHY?!!!
Pedda16 Spännande jävla gäng!
Hope they make a better film than their last few.. Ridley a brilliant director.
The upside of being set in the 14th century is they both can’t get in trouble for how they treat women on set as they are just being “method”
Let's hope it's The Last Movie they do.
The alien prequels have turned me off Scott as a director, pass
Did you move to Australia yet Matt?
I already know I'm going to love this.
Brilliant
Is that nearly a smile from the grumpy director ?
We sleeping on the fact they’re also reuniting on JayandSilentBobReboot ?

This is HUGE!! Goosebumps, excitement, anxiety, thrill, love..all at once! Looking forward to the 'Dudes of the Decades' work together!! BenAffleck ♥
Weekend at Bernies remake would do better than this.
It would be good to see them on screen together again.
Them again 🙄
This is a crime against humanity. Period.
No one wants to see some 14th century shit
BillSimmons thoughts?
Someone please tell these 3 that no one wants this movie now or ever. Save your money & your time & make a different movie where a woman's rape is not your motivation/justification for anything. Make a buddy cop comedy or something. Seriously. Don't. no TheLastDuel
Why does it have to be rape. He could've just slept with her and the same plot could occur.
I’d love to be considered for work on this project. I am in, even if it’s background
But he already made a dueling movie... 🙄
Awesome. One of my favorite books.
Oooo can’t wait ✌🏾
These guys don’t do well with period pieces....
They should be in a relationship. So cute
Interesting. Scott’s first full length feature film was The Duelists. If this ends up being the last film he directs before retiring, it would make for a interesting set of book ends....
Please say they will use South Boston accents, a la Good Will Hunting, in this performance?
That’s cool. But did you see the JayAndSilentBobReboot trailer?!?! ThatKevinSmith

Matt Damon? I'm in.
I would watch a Batman movie if Ben Affleck was Batman and Matt Damon was the Jokerw
Love Matt and Ben! So excited!
Neither actor screams 14th century. Let's hope they don't try an accent
Matt's gonna be busy.
So.... Not an Dogma sequel? 🤷
Aren't they reuniting in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot? 👍
Please tell me this is a slapstick comedy
We have all had enough from them.
Cannot wait❣️
for a second there I thought that was the Nights Watch guy that didn’t like Jon Snow
Love these two! Should be a GOOD One!
how bout...
Yay!!
I can't wait to see what happens
Well, I guess the internet has decided to overlook their reunion in JayAndSilentBobReboot, even though it was announced only 4 DAYS AGO!
Please make Sr. Conan Doyle “Sr Nigel”
I'm excited!
Excellent actors/I have to see this👍😘💪
ArmchairExpPod Monica Padman, dreams do come true. 🤩🤩
Centipedes
antovolk Not a fan of the time period but Ben and Matt writing together, starring and directed by Ridley Scott sounds super interesting. Can’t imagine the two during the 14th century though?
Sir Riddles is great at period violence. A much more interesting project than The Merlin Saga.
If disney doesn't let this come out I hope wb takes it. Or Sony. Anyone really. A Scott, Damon and Affleck collaboration deserves to see the light of day.
This is just what doctor ordered.
hmmmm...
