Matt Damon has spoken about working on The Last Duel scri❀pt with his co-star Ben Affleck and screenwriter Nicole Holofcener.
"It’s a story about perspective," Damon told . "So, there are two knights and then there’s the Lady Marguerite. So Ben and I wrote the male perspectives and Nicole Holof🏅cener wrote the female perspective. That’s kind of the architecture of that movie."
Set in 14th Century France, the movie follows a knight (Damon) who challenges his squire (Adam Driver) to a duel, after his wife (J𒐪odie Comer) accuses the squire of raping her. Ben Affleck also stars as the count under🐈 which Damon's knight serves. Directed by Ridley Scott, The Last Duel is set to premiere at Venice Film Festival in September.
Damon and Affleck have worked together on a script before with the 1997 movie 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Good Will Hunting, directed by Gus Van Sant, in which they also starred. "We didn’t really understand structure [while writing Good Will Hunting] so we wrote thousands of pages,” Damon continued. "We’d be like, 'Well, what if this happened?,' and then we’d just write different scenes.꧑ So, we had all these kind of disparate scenes and then we kind of tried to jam them together into something that looked like a movie."
Damon has also co-written scripts for other movies from Van Sant – 2002's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gerry and 2012's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Promised Land, both of which he als💦o starred in. The former also starred Affleck's brother Casey, who co-wrote with Damon.
He added: "Making movies for 30 years, we actually learned something about structure along the way and 🌠the process went along a lot faster. And so I think we’ll write a lot more in the future just because it didn’t turn out to be as time consuming as we thought. It wꦅas actually a lot of fun."
Damon's other upcoming movies include Stillwater, a crime drama based loosely on the story of Amanda Knox, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: Love and Thunder in a ca꧙meo role as an Asgardian actor playing L⛎oki.
The Last Duel will be released in theaters on October 15. While we wait, check out our list of the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies to get excited about in 2021 and beyond.
