Damon vs. Affleck

Image In the late 90s, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote the script that turned into the drama Good Will Hunting. The picture brought the duo an Oscar and opened the way for the actors to the Hollywood Olympus. Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, Affleck and Damon founded their own production company, but did not become co-authors of any film. The time has come to correct this omission, and the film adaptation of the book "The Last Duel" will help old friends.

The studio 20th Century Fox bought the rights to adapt the work long ago. After the merger, they are owned by the Disney studio, and the project is said to be in active development stage. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck co-wrote the film with Nicole Holofsener (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), And Ridley Scott himself will lead the shooting. The filmmaker even shelved the Merlin project he was preparing for the House of Mouse.

The plot of the original is set in 14th century France, during the Hundred Years War, and revolves around two friends. One of them, the knight Jean de Carrouge, goes to war, and the second, squire Jacques Le Gris, seizing the opportunity, rapes the wife of his comrade Marguerite. Returning from the war, de Carrouge learns about what happened, but no one believed the poor woman, and after unsuccessful attempts to achieve justice, the knight has only one opportunity to take revenge on his friend, who has become his sworn enemy. He turns to the King of France and challenges Le Gris to a duel. One of them will die, and the other will become the winner and thereby prove his innocence before God and people ...

Affleck and Damon will not only co-authors the tape, but also play the main roles in it. It is noteworthy that the plot of "The Last Duel" does not at all fit with the family orientation of the Disney studio, and if the major does not want to shoot the film, they will find another home for him. And there are many people who want to shelter a project with such a team.
