Someone discovered the source of Adam Driver's armour design/motif:

The armour of Adam Driver on the set of #TheLastDuel uses a motif appearing on the effigy of an English knight, Sir Robert Hilton (died in 1377) kept in a church in Swine (Yorkshire).

Better look at the title design on the crew ID cards:

Whoever discovered Adam Driver's armour design is a bloody genius

Just discovered that Harriet Wallter had cameo in The Force Awakens.

Hopefully this is rated R.

The set photos are impressive.

Ridley + sword & board has usually been great.

Ridley + sword & board has usually been great.

It's hit (Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven) or miss (Robin Hood, Exodus). Hopefully The Last Duel will belong to the first category.

That basically describes Scott's filmography.

But hit or miss, it's always beautiful and well directed.

That basically describes Scott's filmography.

But hit or miss, it's always beautiful and well directed.

This and the variety of genre he encompasses. Sci Fi , Fantasy , Peplum , Historical, Horror, War , Psychological Thriller, Gangster, Comedy, Romance...
The fact hits and miss exist in each "genre" means he can handle them all, which is rare for a director.
Makes me think of Spielberg in a way also with the fact he produces a lot outside of his own movies.

Ben Affleck about his blonde hair going viral

During the red carpet premiere of his upcoming film The Way Back, the 47-year-old actor had the funniest reaction when he was asked about the hilarious blonde pictures going around on social media.

"What the f**k! I can't believe the blonde hair pictures," Affleck said. "I haven't even seen the [pictures]. I'm nervous because there's good ones... from the right angle... I'm looking a little bit like if [Draco] Malfoy [from Harry Potter] grew up and had a tough life and grew a goatee."

Today they were filming at the secluded Fontfroide Abbey with 250 extras. No pictures of the cast or sets yet, will update this post if any appears:

Filming equipment on the set of "The Last Duel" Abbaye de Fontfroide. Narbonne, France.

The actual duel takes place at a field inside the Saint Martin des Champs Priory grounds (which is already encircled by the city of Paris at the time)   



It could be that Fontfroide Abbey or Bective Abbey in Ireland will stand in for Saint Martin des Champs Priory.

Another photo of Ben Affleck as Count Pierre (tbc), this one looks like a selfie:



Movie has barely begun shooting and there is already The Last Duel, Adam Driver fanart:

For several days, we had the immense privilege of welcoming to Fontfroide the director Ridley Scott, the actors Matt Damon and Adam Driver, and the actress Jodie Comer, as part of the filming of the film 'The Last Duel'.

So Ben Affleck not present at Fontfroide shoot.

Looks like they are pushing strong (artificial) "sunlight" through the stained glass windows:




From one of the extras at the Fontfroide shoot:

For my 1st casting, 1st figuration & the 1st scene in my life, I played right next to #MattDamon & #JodieComer leaving the Shushing face, under the direction of Ridley himself.

Someone asked him an interesting question:

How fortunate for you! Let's take advantage of your experience: is Ridley Scott still energetic, or is he still blaming his age? Does he have signs of weakness, is he now delegating a lot?
Thank you

To which he replied:

Despite his age,Ridley was very present in rehearsal,in direction of actors & went backstage to watch the sequence being recorded. He returned immediately afterwards to congratulate or make adjustments,if necessary,with actors or extras in attendance. Active,reactive & present!

Ridley was very present in rehearsal

Back to the roots? I hope so

[InterAlien]

This film is going to be so gorgeous. Mah man Riddles is always on point.

The period in which the film takes place (late 14th century) presents an excellent opportunity for Ridley to create a unique look with it's outlandish costumes, Gothic architecture, elaborate pageantry, putrid, disease-ridden, overcrowded medieval cities and war-torn landscapes.

I remember we were discussing whether Ridley still did rehearsals a while back. 



They are now filming at Château de Berze:

Yeah, this is what I'm hoping to see. Probably the biggest merit of The Last Duel will be the fact that, as far as we know, everything is being shot on location (interior and exterior). No studio/backlot, sound stage and green screen, unless I'm wrong.

Ridley Scott is my favorite Director of all time even with his problems. I hope is similar to his first film The Duellists. Even today, the final scene of The Duellists is the most beatutiful scene I ever saw.
