Ridley Scott to direct 'The Last Duel'

[Andrea90]

It will take place obviously where it takes place in the book. With the blue screen they can remake all the environment around.
So they are shooting the duel. 

Fighting in the forest? Kingdom of Heaven vibe.

Some ambush or something like that i think. Maybe during english campaign.

[Ingwar]

It seems like the plot will focus a lot on the English campaign (I might be totally wrong) which makes sense from the cinematic (battle and so on) and character building (Jean de Carrouges) point of view.

Apparently the duel scenes were already shot 2 weeks ago at Ashford Studios. The two photos from Ingwar and myself were taken on 14 September 2020.

-Duel scene shot 2 wks ago
-Adam Driver rides a black horse in full armor
-Shoulder length hair (like Clyde Star-struck)
-Blue armor details, Matt Damon has red armor details

The village scene will be shot on Monday:

I totally agree. I hope so.
Probably the rape will be set while Carrouge is in England, instead Paris (i think the voyage to Paris will be deleted in the film).
Will Damon have long beard in the duel? Or like the beard he has these days?

Ingwar reckons so as well. 

When it comes to than summary it might be in the movie (if it happens) as they will probably shorten the story to make it more dramatic.

Spoiler

Carrouges fighting in Scotland while his wife being raped is better option than him travelling to Paris to collect some money.

[Andrea90]

In a film i think there is not time for that travel. Better option while he's in Scotland in fact.

I think this film will not start with a battle, but the first part will focus on the "friendship" between Carrouges and Le Gris, then we could have the campaign and then the trial by combat.

The first scene they filmed was the wedding scene between de Carrouges and Marguerite so they might start with that even though films are not usually shot chronologically.

Starting with a battle might be a bit odd timeline-wise. It will probably have a slow start like the Kingdom of Heaven DC.

This is indeed true.
They are waaaaaaay ahead of schedule in general. They will definitely be finishing up early.

[Andrea90]

So what are the scenes we know they have shot? So we can rebuilt the film in some way.

From what I can remember:

-The wedding scene
- de Carrouges and his retinue of squires departing his castle on horseback in full armor (probably leaving for Scotland)
-A market square scene (cannot recall this from the book)
-Le Gris and de Carrouges at a meeting in Count Pierre's pavilion/tent outside his castle
-A scene shot inside an abbey (cannot recall this either)
-The epic last duel scene
-The feast and reconciliation between Le Gris and de Carrouges at Crespin's castle
-An English or Scottish village scene that starts filming tomorrow

Ready for tomorrow....

Good to hear that all the constant testing and other covid precautions haven't tripped them up timewise.

Mmmm...very interesting.
So i think the film takes 2 hours and 20 minutes, mayby 30. I don't think it will be just 2 hours.
First part: marriage, the meeting in Count Pierre's tent, feast and reconcilliation
Second part: Scottish campaign, scottish or england village scene, return in France
Third part: trial and duel.

Interesting. No big battle?. Ridley Scott opens his Epics with a big battle scene in the past: ROBIN HOOD, EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS and GLADIATOR

[T Dog]

No I think it opens with the duel and then jumps back in time.

KOH doesn't start with a battle, for example. This film is very different from Exodus and Robin Hood, there is a book to follow.

No I think it opens with the duel and then jumps back in time.

Like the book, you say.
Mmm..i don't think so, but it could be.

I'm fairly confident that's what they are doing
