The Last Duel
20th Century Studios, 2021
Set in the midst of the Hundred Years War and based on actual events, The Last Duel centres on France’s last sanctioned duel between two friends turned bitter rivals. Carrouges is a respected knight and Le Gris is a Norman squire whose intelligence and eloquence make him one of the most admired nobles in court. When Carrouges’ wife, Marguerite, is viciously assaulted by Le Gris, a charge he denies, she refuses to stay silent, stepping forward to accuse her attacker, an act of bravery and defiance that puts her life in jeopardy. The ensuing trial by combat, a grueling duel to the death, places the fate of all three in God’s hands.
Directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, The House of Gucci) with cast including Oscar winner Matt Damon (Manchester by the Sea, The Martian), Adam Driver (House of Gucci, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Emmy winner Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker).
Intimacy Coordinator
Ita O’Brien for Intimacy On Set
“We had an amazing intimacy coordinator called Ita O’Brien and she’s worked on Sex Education, I May Destroy You and I Hate Suzie; so many incredible things that have tackled really difficult subjects. We were so lucky to have her on board, and so it was having conversations with her about what I was comfortable with, what I wasn’t.’ (Jodie Comer)
