Ridley Scott to direct 'The Last Duel'

[Andrea90]

When a trailer? May? June?

One of my most anticipated films of 2021 even more so now that Scott was clearly blown away by not just Driver but Comer too. Super curious to see the trailer.

I didn't expect that coming.

So this would be for a test screening, I think? And it pretty strongly suggests that it will be R-Rated (15 UK).

So we can have the first reactions?

With test screenings people are usually required not to disclose anything about the film. But sometimes people who saw it will post some info online anyway, so here's hoping.

Cannes festival is just a bad idea..
Scott isn't very appreciated by the press attracted by this event.
I don't think it's useful to start movie promo with a tough review. Better to wait event like TIFF, which is much more modern in their approach to cinema.

Going by the story, it will probably be closer in style to an art film (like The Duellists) than an action-packed Hollywood blockbuster (which the press that attend the event tend to abhor). Also, half the film was shot in France using French crew and extras with probably around $50 million spent there. So if the film is decent then I think the press will be kind to it.

the synopsis makes comer sound like the main voice which i was worried about. hopefully this shows as the story being told mainly from the male perspective would be asking for failure

Oooh Harry Gregson-Williams. If the soundtrack's only half as good as KoHs. Hope he keeps it classic as fukk --

How about a bit of Wagner and Carl Orff mixed in? Up the Gothic quotient a little?

Interestingly, the Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack included a lot of non-Gregson-Williams tracks as well, including the opening titles (composed by Hans Zimmer), an operatic piece from Hannibal, a track by Jerry Goldsmith, a track by Marco Beltrami and a track from The Crow.

Well, they say the story will be told "from three distinct points of view". Which I presume would be Comer, Driver and Damon's characters. It also jibes with what we've heard about the film being in the style of Rashomon.

The person who posted the invite said they'll share some stuff about the film on Wednesday.

when is a trailer likely to come out?

Yes, yes and yes.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the Info!


EDIT

Altho way more modern I wouldn't mind something like this:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DEqzIeR98sI&list=OLAK5uy_kiZIP9V5KgpZW17uYaCk8lINPkMAag5YY&index=4

which in fact reminds me a bit of KoHs soundtrack (in parts)

I definitely think Scott could increase the ambient a tad. Or even the eery/expressionistic. All of which made Goldsmiths Alien so great and Streitenfelds Prometheus a bit flat. Dunno how that suits the source material tho but judging by Raised by Wolves Scott lately seemes to be willing to embrace alternative methods/styles more (again).

First reviews from last night's test screening:





Both of which basically says bugger-all that we don't already know. 

....except perhaps for that coded emoji sentence if it's even true.

Can anyone decipher this? Are those reactions ever legit?

I'm too old for this emoji sentence stuff but apparently it means:

Spoiler

Eye (I) Saw (saw) Atom (Adam) Car (Driver's) Aubergine (Penis)

Apparently it's true, all of it:

Spoiler

I didn't wanna post this until nearer the release date via a source on the set of The Last Duel, Adam Driver filmed a full frontal scene. Whether that made it into the movie or not were yet to see. Your welcome
