Ridley Scott to direct 'The Last Duel'

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

The book says Count Pierre was "a royal cousin and prince of the blood". So I dunno, I suppose it's possible that he would use the royal banner then. I'm not really well versed in these matters either.

Mmm.
Nah i think Affleck will play the Count.

Affleck plays King Charles. It's a small role, so small in fact that a lot of it is his double!

Thanks for clearing that up T. 

Yeah, just as I was suspecting. So I guess the king will take over the role of the count?

Have you read the script yet or is that info from your friend who worked on the film?

[T Dog]

I haven't read it no, I just ask my friend for the info.

Thanks! It was starting to drive me batty! [no pun intended]

If you are asking whether it'll be rated R, they wouldn't know that as they aren't involved in Post production. My educated guess is that'll be a 15's.

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

Yeah, Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator etc. were all given a 15 by the BBFC (equivalent I think to the US R-rating) so I expect the same for this film. In the book the end of the duel is quite bloody as well as the battles and the story has a violent rape scene.

Can he give you more info?

If you read through the earlier posts in this thread you'll see that T has dropped some insider info here and there. Among that was that his friend mentioned the movie will be in the style of Rashomon (alternative and/or contradictory versions of the same incident) so I think it will be a lot more ambiguous with regards to Le Gris' guilt than the book was.

Haven't seen Rashomon in years. Probably gonna watch it tomorrow.

I also need to rewatch it, only ever seen it once years ago.
