Jodie Comer and Ridley Scott Walk the Red Carpets at Premieres for the Historical Epic Opening in Theaters Nationwide October 15

Cast and filmmakers from “The Last Duel” are in Europe this week to celebrate the upcoming release of the historical epic based on actual events. Jodie Comer was in London last night for the film’s U.K. premiere at the Odeon Luxe Cinema in London’s iconic Leicester Square, and Comer, Ridley Scott, Nicole Holofcener, Alex Lawther and Zoé Bruneau attended the French premiere in Paris at the Gaumont Champs-Elysées Theater earlier today. “The Last Duel” opens in theaters nationwide October 15, 2021.
 
The Last Duel” is a gripping tale of betrayal and vengeance set against the brutality of 14th century France. A cinematic and thought-provoking drama set in the midst of the Hundred Years War, the film 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’s last sanctioned duel between Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris, two friends turned bitter rivals.
 
“The Last Duel” stars Oscar® winner Matt Damon (“Good Will Hunting,” “Ford v Ferrari”), two-time Academy Award® nominee Adam Driver (“Marriage Story,” “BlacKkKlansman”), Emmy® winner Jodie Comer (“Killing Eve,” “Free Guy”) and two-time Oscar winner Ben Affleck (“Argo,” “Good Will Hunting”). Directed by four-time Academy Award® nominee Ridley Scott (“The Martian,” “Black Hawk Down,” “Gladiator,” “Thelma & Louise”) with a screenplay by Oscar nominee Nicole Holofcener (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”) & Ben Affleck & Matt Damon based on the book by Eric Jager. The film is produced by Ridley Scott, p,g.a., Kevin J. Walsh, p.g.a. (“Manchester by the Sea”), Jennifer Fox, p.g.a. (“Nightcrawler”), Nicole Holofcener, p.g.a., Matt Damon, p.g.a., Ben Affleck, p.g.a., with Kevin Halloran (“Ford v Ferrari”), Drew Vinton (“Promised Land”), Madison Ainley (“Justice League”) serving as executive producers.
